Preparations are underway for the local Rotary Four-Way Test Speech Contest planned for March 5 at the regular Bellefontaine Rotary Club meeting from noon to 1 p.m. at the Hilliker Y.
The event is open to high school-age students throughout Logan County. Local high schools may hold their own speech contests prior to the Rotary Club contest to select participants.
Each of the 52 clubs in Rotary District 6670 also is able to send a local high school age contestant to the District Competition at Wright State University Sunday, April 8.
Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test is still relevant today and transcends generations and national boundaries. Not based on culture or religion, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and asks the following essential questions of the things we think, say or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be helpful to all concerned?
“We are hoping The Four-Way Test will capture the imaginations of our local youth as a simple checklist to help ensure that they are applying this positive and powerful code to how they try to live their lives and serve others,” said Jamie Ross, chair for the local event. “We are reaching out to high schools to find experienced speakers — maybe students who have been in theater productions or in speech classes — as well as students who are first-time speakers who can take the Rotary Four-Way Test and tell us how it applies in their lives.”
