Speech and debate team news
Birkholz takes second in poetry
BY PATTi CARPENTER
The speech and debate
team travelled to Worland
this week for a two-day
competition. Thirteen went
to the meet, which coach
Deb Fink thought was a
great learning experience
for all.
"The kids are doing re-
ally good so far," said Fink.
According to assistant
coach Jason Zeller the con-
gressional debate team
learned a valuable lesson,
"get up and talk more!"
Jessica Emmett, Bai-
ley Dugan, Mary Schwope,
Wray Krei, Austin Brost,
Adam Larson and Chase
Aagard participated on the
congressional debate team
at the event.
"The, :stud]e)arned
'that the more they speak,
he better they are at plac-
ing and that the more confi-
dently they speak, the more
credible they sound to the
judges," said Zeller.
For the congressio-
nal debate, students write
speeches both for and
against a bill. Some of the
topics are made up, and
some are topics seen in the
news. The competition is
set up like a legislative ses-
sion, where a topic is intro-
duced and students com-
pete by standing up and
giving their point of view
on the subject. Some exam-
ples of topics include lower-
ing the student driving age
to 14 and getting rid of the
"happy meal" at McDon-
ald's.
Student Jessica Em-
mett likes this kind of com-
petition because she loves
to argue all sides of an ar-
gument, She thinks it hel.ps
her to stay current on 1s-
sues.
"It's a whole lot of fun
and I really like it," said
Emmett. "I might use this
someday to go into politics
or to become a lawyer."
Emily Birkholz placed
second in the poetry con-
test reading poetry by hu-
man rights activist Andrea
Gibson.
Birkholz received feed-
back this time that her ren-
ditions were too similar and
plans two different read-
ings in her next competi-
tion. Students like Birkholz
will typically perform the
same material each meet
and will make modifica-
tions based on the judges'
comments. Birkholz hopes
that this strategy will take
her to a first-place win in
future competitions.
The team consists of
students from both Lovell
and Rocky Mountain High
Schools.
The Lovell group pre-
sented some of their more
child-friendly pieces at
Lovell Elementary school
this week, which provided
good practice before a high-
ly receptive young audi-
ence.
"It was a lot of fun per-
forming for the younger
kids," said Fink. "I think
the students who partici-
pated really enjoyed it."
Next up, the students
will travel "to Jackson Hole
where 385 are entered to
compete and 185 students
sit on a waiting list hoping
to fill any spot that opens
up.
"We can only enter four
students per event in this
meet, so students won't be
able to compete in as many
events as they would like,"
said Fink, who anticipates
that this will be a very com-
petitive atmosphere d a
good leai'ning :expe'riende
for all who attend. Teams
from throughout Wyoming
and some from Idaho are
expected to attend.
Students to carve wizards and
Cody wood carving in-
