Interhouse Public Speaking

One after another, student step up to the makeshift stage and ready themselves to give a great speech. On their shoulders they carry the weight of winning their categories as representatives of their Houses. The audience sits on the concrete steps of the Campbell Common amphitheatre eating their specialized ice-cream sundaes and popsicles while scrutinizing the speakers.  One thing that needs to be known about these speakers is the situation they are in: some of them are experienced public speakers while others were voluntold as tributes by their Interhouse Captains (insert Hunger Games moment here). But, they do go up there. They all give damn good speeches. The audience has a great time, and it ends being pretty darn fun. Nicole L, Hope ‘21
