lnterpers Speak Their Piece The Oral Interpretation season was a successful one in many aspects. Approximately 15-20 people par- ticipated in the different contests throughout the year. Many of these people had taken the class from Miss Spelts and decided to compete. The students had a choice of six categories to enter a piece in. They included: Prose, Poetry, Dramatic, Humorous, Original Oratory, and Duet Acting. The students performed excerpts from plays, stories, and poems. ln addition, original speeches were written and given orally. A large number of performers competed in the divisional contest. These people include, Katie Randall, Beth Boyum, Lisa Fischer, Mary McGreevy, Dan Fester, Renae Tim- mer, and Mark Curley. Many of these contestants then went on to win superior ratings at the State contest. Mary McGreevy, receiving a first superior at the State Contest, went on to the National Contest in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. At Eau Claire, she competed against high school oral interpreters from around the country. The season provided the students with an opportunity to gain ex- perience in both dramatics and literature.
