Participants from Pennsylvania stop at the Gettysburg battlefield for a tour before traveling to Washington for the national gathering. While there, students visit the Smithsonian, Vietnam and Korean War memorials, National Cathedral, Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, Mount Vernon and the National Zoo. They also travel to Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress, take an evening boat cruise on the Potomac River, attend a dinner and dance that brings together all 1,300 Youth Tour delegates and enjoy a live theatrical production. Claverack holds a contest to select its student delegates.

Elk Lake Debater Conquers North Hills After a six-hour van trip and two grueling days of competition, Elk Lake sophomore Molly Copeland came within one debate of making it to Finals in Lincoln-Douglas Debate at the 31st Annual North Hills Invitational Speech and Debate Tournament, the largest high school invitational tournament in PA, on February 11-12. Copeland defeated debaters from North Allegheny, Mercyhurst, and Hawkin High Schools en route to compiling a four win and one loss preliminary round record and a fifth seed in the Octafinal round.
In Octafinals, Copeland defeated Sarah Bailey from Hawkin HS in Ohio. Then in Semi-Finals, Copeland, after a period of confusion in the tab room, defeated Justin Famoso from Wheeling Park HS in West Virginia. Alyssa Lane, the eventual LD champion, from Hawkin HS ended Copeland’s bid for a berth in the Final Round. As a result of her earlier seeding, Copeland finished third in LD Debate. “This is an incredible finish for a young debater at an extremely difficult tournament. Over the past 12 years, we have only had two other debaters make it past the Octafinal round at this tournament,” commented EL Forensics Director Keith Brosious. This tournament marked the end of the regular competition season for the Elk Lake Forensics Team. On February 26, the EL Forensics Team will travel to West Scranton High School to compete at the PA High School Speech League District Championship. The top two place-winners in each event will advance to the PHSSL State Championship at Susquehanna University on April 22-23.
