The Juniors Have Jokes and the Freshmen Have Persuasion
In the spring, juniors are given an assignment to brainstorm, write and deliver a speech that will showcase their ability to produce laughter among a crowd. At the same time, freshmen are tasked with a similar project. They must craft a speech that persuades the audience on a chosen opinion. After many rounds in the classroom, finalists were chosen to present their speeches in front of the entire Upper School. Congratulations to the finalists: juniors Patrick MacMullan, Sommer Soderman, Keegan Nyman, Max Plotkin and Rushil Sura and freshmen Isabella Peter, Lily Browning and Tullia Knight.
From topics among juniors such as "What Is the Real South?" and topics from freshmen such as "Why Barbie Is an Empowering Role Model," it was a tough job for the faculty to decide upon the winners of the Humorous Speeches and the Persuasive Speeches. In the end, Max Plotkin and Rushil Sura and Lily Browning were the respective winners of the Humorous Speeches and the Persuasive Speeches. Congratulations to Max and Rushil for successfully preparing speeches that were written eloquently, delivered confidently and received humorously among students and faculty, and congratulations for Lily for successfully arguing for a passionate issue.
