prizes across several categories.
In the Poetry Interpretation category,
freshman Helen Rose Patterson was third place among Level One students.
Rami Tahan and Elisabeth Collins, both competing in Level Two, received
second and third places respectively. In the Advanced Level, senior Olivia
Jung placed a flawless first with perfect scores from all judges. Juniors

place for their Original Skit. And in the category of Dramatic Interpretation,
juniors Emma Bellamy and Mercedes Bezaury-Diaz also received a first place
