Team and Individual Highlights of the 1994-95 season

Our Proudest Accomplishment

23 students competed in at least one tournament during the year -- since Bethany has an enrollment of 350, that means we had almost 7% of our student body on the Speech Team (how many schools can say that?). Our team members competed in 12 tournaments, speaking in a total of 634 rounds, a total of more than 100 hours of competitive speaking. That's a lot of learning, and that's what we are most proud of.
