4 BHS Graduation Speakers Named
http://digital.olivesoftware.com/olive/apa/sturgis/sharedview.article.aspx?href=DPLTR%2F1973%2F05%2F31&id=Ar01201&sk=026E55FF&viewMode=image
Four seniors have been selected to speak at Barnstable High School graduation ceremonies Sunday.

The speakers, all members of the BHS speech team, are Jennie Hatfield, Ann Leiman, John Cross and Diane Forte. Their speeches are, respectively, "The Road Not Taken,': "Graduation - a Beginning, Not an End," "Winning," and "Civilized Man."

Senior Class President Chris Teel will welcome the guests at the ceremonies to be held at the BHS football field at 3 pm.

In the event of rain, the ceremonies will be held in the school gym at 3:30. Originally, the Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink was scheduled as the rainy day site, but it has been ruled unsafe by Hyannis Fire Chief Clough and the state fire marshal, according to Acting Principal Dr. T. Walter Wannie.

The four speeches were selected in a run-off last Wednesday and judged by a panel which included speech coach Mr. Richard Warren, Dr. Wannie, English Department Chairman Mrs. Catherine Towey, debate team coach Miss Ellen Snow, speech teacher Mr. Leonard Gobiel and English teacher, Mr. Russell Fales. The panel decided on all four speeches when it was not able to decide on just three, the traditional number of graduation speakers.

The four students are members of the BHS chapter of the National Forensic League, a speech organization.

Two of the students, Jennie Hatfield and John Cross, have received the highest award possible in that organization, and both are officers of the BHS chapter, John as president, and Jennie as secretary.

The four also have been active speaking at many community and school events.
