When Competitive Speaking was removed from the daily class schedule, Speech Coach jane Morehouse constantly heard the complaint, 7 ZW Competitive Speaking is no longer a daily class at KCHS, all who wanted to participate in speech were encouraged to do so, but, had to come in on their own time. This posed problems for the speech team. First, because the class was eliminated, the number of participants was cut down. Second, there was less interest at the start of the year, which, if there had been, the team would have had more experience and practice to aid them at districts. Even though the speech team had some problems scheduling practice times, Gretchen Bemis received a superior rating at district competition held in Sidney on March 22 for humorous prose and poetry. Ben Burt also received a superior rating for serious prose and a excellent rating for poetry. Other excellent ratings were given to Allison Dillion for original public address, Jill Stevenson for humorous prose, Allison Dillion and Rochael Soper for duet acting, Latisha Tuller for serious prose, and David Evertson, Jon Heidemann, Randy Krammer, Brad Reader, and Latisha Tuller for reading of drama. Steve Young received a good rating for original public address. Without Mrs Morehouses' help, understanding and patience, we could not have accomplished what we did,” stated Jon Heidemann. ALLISON DILLON and Rochael Soper received a excellent rating tor their reading of a duet act.
