American Legion Oratorical Contest held at GHS

Greybull High School was the site of the recent District 4 competition in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, which exists to develop deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students.
The district competition produced a winner in Riley Laffin, a Lovell High School senior, who went on to also win the state competition held last weekend.  The other participant in the district contest was Audrey Johnson, who attends Powell High School.
Since 1938, the program has presented participants with an academic speaking challenge that teaches important leadership qualities, the history of our nation’s laws, the ability to think and speak clearly, and an understanding of the duties, responsibilities, rights and privileges of American citizenship.
