CHS Home Speech Meet

The CHS speech team hosted their home meet on Saturday Feb. 4.

     
        The Chadron Home Speech was a massive success on February 4.
        Rebecca Dubs, head coach of the CHS speech team, arranged almost the entire meet and a total of ten teams arrived. Dubs planned and executed everything from the judges hospitality room to announcing finals to cleaning up after the meet. Her work resulted in a happy audience, contented contestants, and jolly judges. By the time awards were announced, by Dubs's calculations, the entire ceremony was early. 
        The few bumps Dubs encountered were easily fixed, and hardly noticed. Her accomplishment is surprising since she has only been speech coach for two years, and only received help from Zach Banzhaf, first year assistant coach of the speech team. 
        While the speech team didn't win its flight, more then half the team placed in finals including: OID Abby Hyer, Mande Wolleson, Grace Sorenson, and Hunter Hawk (The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet, 4th), OID Madison Sandstrom, Madison Stein, and Wren Chamberlain (Gee, 5th), OID Sydney Brown, Claire Margetts, Katie Lewin, JashwaAlan Cummings, Kaylie Elliot (Greek Mythology Extravaganza, 2nd), Duet Abby Hyer and Claire Margetts (Santa Runs a Sweatshop, 6th), Duet Alyssa Noble and Emily Blaylock (How to Survive a Horror Movie, 4th), Humorous Walt Mays (Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, 3rd), Humorous Madison Sandstrom ("10 Easy Steps to Humiliation" 5th), Poetry Colette Mahr (3rd), Poetry Evelyn McEwen (2nd), Poetry JashwaAlan Cummings (1st), Persuasive Paige Carattini (5th), and Persuasive Hunter Hawk (4th).
