EL Forensics Team Starts Strong The Elk Lake Forensics Team opened its season by bringing home three trophies at the James M. Langan Memorial Forensics Tournament at Scranton High School on November 12. Elk Lake’s debaters led the way. In Varsity Lincoln-Douglas Debate, junior Molly Copeland compiled an undefeated, 4 win and 0 loss record in the preliminary rounds by defeating debaters from LaSalle, Holy Ghost, Southern Lehigh and Shikellamy High Schools and advanced to Semi-Finals as the top seed.
EL Forensics Team Place Winners at the James M. Langan Forensics Tournament at Scranton HS on November 12 (l-r) are: Karyn Hunsinger – fourth place in Varsity LD Debate; Molly Copeland – second place in Varsity LD Debate; Max McKeon – fifth place in Varsity Student Congress. Sophomore Varsity LD debater Karyn Hunsinger compiled a 3 win and 0 loss record in the preliminary rounds by defeating debaters from LaSalle, Southern Lehigh and Holy Ghost High Schools and advanced to Semi-Finals as the fourth seed. Because of their seedings in Semi-Finals, Copeland and Hunsinger were paired against each other. Elk Lake’s coaches advanced Copeland because of her higher seeding in Semi-Finals. This resulted in Hunsinger placing fourth in Varsity LD Debate. Consequently, Copeland advanced to Finals where she met Jill Maratek from Shikellamy HS. Copeland lost a split decision and placed second in Varsity LD Debate. Elk Lake’s third trophy came from sophomore Max McKeon who placed fifth in Varsity Student Congress in a field of 25 competitors. The EL Forensics Team will begin its Scranton CFL schedule on December 3 at the University of Scranton. They will then travel to suburban Philadelphia to compete at the annual LaSalle Forum Tournament on December 10.
The Blue Ridge High School Student council held its annual Semi-formal on November 5. Crowned King was Dan Allen (above right). Crowned Queen was Tiffanie Grover (above left). Court included Leanne Ferecnzi, David Ostrowski, Joseph Bennett, Jessica Burkett, Kelly Brant and Anthony Lewis, Freshman Dayna Keene and Nick Smith.
Students, Seniors Making History Information on daily life in Susquehanna County in the early 1900’s is scarce. By recording oral histories, local high school students are helping to change this. On Saturday, November 5, Emily Klie and Gabby Printz (Montrose), Blaise Ross (Blue Ridge), and Julianne Spadine and Virginia Wilmarth (Elk Lake) participated in the first series of interviews planned by the Susquehanna County Oral History Project (SCOHP). SCOHP is a group of writers and researchers interested in preserving information on the fabric of local life during a time that is little documented.
Julianne Spadine and Eloise Bunnell With a grant from the Lorna W. Reynolds Children's Development Fund, SCOHP provided training, equipment, and support to these students and paired them with seniors willing to contribute their memories to a growing historical archive.
Gabby Printz and Lee Smith SCOHP members thank Eloise Bunnell, Walter Cook, Evelyn Galloway, Elsie Hackbart, and Lee Smith for sharing their lives with these young people. Julianne and Emily wanted to know more about the challenges women faced 50 and 60 years ago. Mrs. Bunnell and Mrs. Hackbart, who both raised a family and worked outside the home, could tell them firsthand. Mr. Smith provided Gabby, who is interested in local politics, some insight based on his own unique experiences. Blaise learned from Mr. Cook that one of the effects the automobile had in Clifford Twp. was to widen the geographical area for finding potential spouses from about 5 to 25 miles. Virginia, interested in World War II, learned from Mrs. Galloway what ration coupons were and that, because Mrs. Galloway didn't have any for shoes, the ones she wore to her wedding were made of cardboard. The interviews were captured on digital recorders. Josh Brewer, Montrose Area High School graduate and an expert with recording equipment, is transferring them to CDs. The students will then index and partially transcribe the interviews. Some students plan to use this experience as the basis of their senior year project. Once the CDs and transcripts are returned to SCOHP, they will be archived at Salt Springs Park. Anyone interested in reading or listening to them, or in becoming involved in this project, can call the park at 967-7275 or Debra Adleman at 278-3371. The collection is young, but it will grow. It will, as it did for Gabby, "shine a light on local history."
