|||
| Chelsea G and Mariah S for varsity dual interpretation (an acting event) | |||
| David A for his novice original oratory (a persuasive speech) | |||
| Overall score receiving a superior distinction and a trophy | |||
| 3rd place- Jones B for a varsity interpretive reading on procrastination | |||
1st place- Jean L for a novice interpretive reading on choices |
|||
6 students earned enough points to gain membership and a merit degree to the National Forensics League. (See NFL page for an update of NFL points.) |
