An Emotional Evening: Speech Night showcases student skills

The Community Center audience was treated to a night of laughs, heartbreak and bizarre twists at the Carbon County School District No. 2 high school speech team’s “Speech Night,” held at the Platte Valley Community Center Monday evening.

The talented students performed poetic, humorous, dramatic and duet speech presentations from the 2012-13 National Forensic League season. Performing individuals included Kat Hytrek (the poetic “Mirror, Mirror”), Aleck Freeman (the poetic “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”), Kaylyn Wessel (the dramatic “Me and Emma”), Jacob Dickinson and Taylor Russell (the duet piece “Two Old Men”), Becca Treat and Kaylyn Wessel (the duet piece “Robin Hood”), Amber Adams (the poetic “Making Sarah Cry”), and Geoff Page and Colton Woolfolk (the duet piece “Dueling Phobias”).

Afterward, the team’s seniors, Colton Woolfolk, Geoff Page and Amber Adams, were also presented onstage with a “Senior Tribute” alongside their parents.
