First speech meet of the season

    The first speech meet of the season took place on Saturday, January 10 in Scottsbluff. After weeks of preparation, many Chadron High participants placed, or did very well, in their categories and came home proud. The speech meet consisted of OIDs (oral interpretive drama), duets, persuasives, poetry, serious and many other types of speeches. Many speechies did exceptionally well at the first meet of the season. Aaron Gaswick and Harile Kennell received second place in their duet, as did Amrit Chima in his poetry presentation. Shoilee Rahman received third place in her intriguing persuasive speech, and Shay Chamberlain received fourth place in her serious speech. Ashley Trent and Peyton Wallage placed sixth in their duet, making this first meet a very successful one.
     Last Saturday on the 17th at the second speech meet, the speechies were even more successful at the Gordon/Rushville meet. In poetry, Amrit Chima received fourth place while KayLee Morsett got sixth. In persuasive, Shoilee Rahman became the champion, receiving first. In the same category, Alex Westerbuhr received sixth place. In duet, Shay Chamberlin and Brittani Piontek earned fourth place and Aaron Gaswick and Harlie Kennel were duet champions, getting first. Amrit Chima, Shay Chamberlin, Aaron Gaswick, Brittani Piontek, and Harlie Kennell received fifth place in their OID, "Evil Dead the Musical." Brooklyn Stack, Emily Blaylock, Seth Sloan, and Walt Mays received third in their OID, "Accused of Comedy." Last week's meet was even more successful for the Chadron High speechies.
