Speech Season: Talking to Walls

     The 2015-2016 speech season started Tuesday the 17th. With Joe McCarty and Rebecca Dubs as the head coach and assistant coach, they say that they are excited for this year. "This is my first year helping with an activity like this in Chadron," said Mrs. Dubs. "I'm excited to work with these kids!"
     Speech consists of nine different events ranging from a serious speech to an oral interpretation of drama (OID) that can be performed with multiple people and is usually comedy. "It's time to go hard and not stop. I'm determined to make my speech goals and dreams come true," said senior Amrit Chima.
     Although this is Mr. McCarty's last year, the team is sure to make it last. With practices after school almost everyday and more, the group is preparing to earn their way to state or doing well at districts. "Speech is what I look forward to," said junior Emily Blaylock, "I'm ready for waking up early, traveling, and being able to do what I love to do."
