More than 25 students and their parents were on-hand to learn more about the Webster Club and competitive speech—debate, forensics, and mock trial. Students were asked to indicate their interest on a form that was turned in to Mr. Batterman and they were contacted this morning with more information about the program. Freshmen are encouraged to attend varsity practices next week on Tuesday and Thursday after school and the Webster Club Debate and Forensics Orientation Night is scheduled for Wednesday, September 6th at 7:00PM at MUHS.

The most notable part of the Freshmen Recruiting Night was the leadership demonstrated by several of the Webster Club’s returning varsity members. Seniors Dana Skold, Patrick Carter, and Greg Herbers and junior Peter Anderson were on hand to represent the forensics program while seniors Gaurav Bhatnagar and Nolan Wanecke and juniors Garrett Fields and Jake Sirus represented their teammates from the debate squad. Each student shared a few thoughts with the freshmen and their parents, explaining a little about what they do as members of the Webster Club and sharing those benefits of their participation that have been particularly meaningful. Several students discussed the improvements in self-confidence that their participation in speech provided while others noted the academic, social, and competitive benefits offered by participation in the Webster Club.

A few photos from the Freshmen Recruiting Night are available below the fold.
