Rotary Club seeks ‘4-Way’ speech contestants The Rotary Club of Florence is looking for contestants for its annual 4-Way Test high school speech contest. Contest winners will share $1,000 in cash prizes. Any high school student in the Florence or Mapleton area, public, private or home- schooled, grades 9-12, are eli- gible to debate the ethical stan- dards and behavior in today’s world. The Rotary Club of Florence invites students to share a sub- ject they care about by partici- pating in the 4-Way Test Speech Contest, which will be held Thursday, April 13, at 4 p.m. at the Florence Event Center. Three finalists will then present their speeches and receive certificates and cash prizes totaling $1,000 at a Rotary meeting at noon on Tuesday, April 18. The winning speaker will also be invited to compete in the district level contest in Albany, Ore., on the weekend of May 20. First prize in the contest is $500, second prize is $350, and third prize is $150. All participants will be required to take the Rotary 4- Way Test and apply it to real life throughout their speeches. The 4-Way Test has four principles: 1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build good will and better friendship? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned? The choices for topics are endless. Would the Super Bowl pass the 4-Way Test? What about homework assignments? How about social networking? All speeches must be origi- nal and may not be less than five minutes or more than seven minutes. For information on partici- pating, contact Meg Spencer, Committee Chair, at 541-999- 2627, or the speech coordinator at either Siuslaw or Mapleton high school.

Apply and then let the awarding organization make that determination. Many scholarship winners are surprised how many stu- dents receive scholarships who say they never thought that they might qualify. Students with the best grades are not the only ones who earn scholarships. Many organiza- tions prefer to award scholar- ships to those who might not get the highest grades or SATs but show promise of future success and the ability and desire to return to this commu- nity and share their talents and skills locally. Last year, Western Lane Community Foundation award- ed over $25,000 in scholarships and since its founding has awarded well over $275,000 to both Mapleton and Siuslaw graduating seniors. Home schooled students are not eligible for these scholar- ships but certainly are for the continuing education scholar- ships available during the sum- mer. Watch for upcoming announcements concerning a specific LCC nursing scholar- ship and our third annual schol- arships designed for already graduated students, re-entry students, home schooled and other career changing adults. For more information regarding the graduating senior scholarships, contact school counselors or the WLCF office at 541-997-1274.
