ZACHARY MAYNARD
was “Mr. DJ” during the Junior Exhibition held at Washburn High School on April 8.
Nikkie Richardson and Breanna Hyde joined forces and spoke about “Our Dad’s Rules for Dating.” I’m not sure what their dating life is like, if their boyfriends have to go by the rules they described. Nikkie and Breanna won the People’s Choice Award.
Lara Scott recited the poem “The Voiceless” by Molly Biehl, after giving an introduction on animal rights. Lara was declared the winner of the Junior Exhibition.
Jacob Reed spoke about a “Road Trip, with a Few Recognizable Characters.” The “trip” from Maine to California was taken with a friend on a bicycle built for two. I think that many folks listening recognized his characters, as there were many laughing at his impressions. Jacob was declared the runner-up.
