Speeches by

Pat Astre "Sylvans" Interpretative Reading Manual - #1 Read a Story

Pat read his original sci-fi thriller to us. It told of a creature that
lurks in the Pine Barrens in the woods and the strange encounter one man
had with them and how it doomed him. It was like an episode of the old
TV show "Twilight Zone".

Evaluator -- Amy Halsted

Beth Lin "The Fat of the Land" Interpretative Reading Manual - #1 Read a
Story

Evaluator -- Brian

Beth read a story describing the life of a nouveau riche lady who has
everything but possesses nothing. Very emotional read.

Table Topics \-\--Round the table special Table Topic where each person
had 1 min to describe the qualities a future president should have.
