Meet the Regional Speech Team will be at 7 p.m. Thursday in the LCHS
auditorium. Admission is free, but donations to help the team with
expenses will be accepted. Performances on Thursday will include
all finalists from Lincoln's own tournament last Saturday as well as
a few others.
Senior Sara Shane will perform her oratorical declamation "The
Greatest Day of My Life ... (So Far)," by Mark Scharenbroich, and
then will prepare a radio speech in the interim while others are
speaking. She will have 45 minutes to prepare a five-minute radio
script and will present it near the end of the program.
Senior Wyatt Phillis and junior Matthew Langdon will perform
their dramatic duet acting piece "Down Came the Rain," by Burgess
Clark, an eight-minute selection sure to tug the heartstrings. Later
in the program, Phillis and Langdon will return to present the
humorous duet acting piece "Pillow Talk," by Peter Tolan.
Senior Tegan Follis will share her dramatic interpretation of
"The Crimson Thread" by Mary Wells, as well as a program of poetry
she compiled and titled "An Unusual Love Triangle," about the
