1-Speech — Regena Bradley and Kaytlyn Williams

This article was written by the staff of the Eagle Talk Newspaper:

On Saturday, November 17, members of the Waurika High School speech team attended the Marlow Speech Tournament. Of those attending, freshman Kaytlyn Williams and sophomore Regena Bradley both placed in their respective categories.

Williams, a first-time speech participant, competed in the Dramatic Interpretation event and placed third. Bradley, a second-year speech club member but a first-time competitor, placed 2nd in her event, Original Oratory.

Both girls will continue to practice their pieces in preparation for regionals, which will take place in the spring. Other speech members will begin competing again in January when the team travels to their next meet.

“I could not be more proud of these girls,” speech coach Jessica Cornelison stated. “We really haven’t had a lot of quality practice-time, and both of these girls worked hard on their own to prepare. To be first-time competitors and to step out of their comfort zone is a big deal, to begin with, but qualifying for regionals and bringing home trophies just proves how dedicated and talented these students are.”

Waurika Senior Michael Bryant Leaving His Mark on the Community

He can solve a Rubik’s Cube in about a minute, hit a pop-fly to center field, and this coming fall he will be playing on the field at Oklahoma State University as a member of the Cowboy marching band.

Although he was born in Houston, Texas, Michael Bryant, Jr. has attended school here in Waurika his whole life.

He has participated in band, football, baseball, the academic team, FFA, the Beta Club, and is a member of the National Honor Society.

So why did he try out for the OSU marching band? It’s not because one of his favorite colors is orange.

The simple answer is that he has a deep love for music. Two of his favorite genres is country and classic rock from the vinyl era.

Although he can play the tuba, he favors the trumpet because of its versatility.

Bryant tried out for a place in the marching band back in February and was informed the day of the try out that he had been accepted.

He will attend band camp a week before the official move-in date in order to prepare for the marching season.

He says his most memorable moments while attending Waurika High School are the times he competed with the band at state competitions.

Even though he has many accolades and achievements under his belt, some of the qualities he possesses that makes him memorable among members of the community is his genuineness, maturity, and ability to communicate with people from all levels of society.

His plans are to major in Agriculture and possibly go on to become a Veterinarian.

Whatever he chooses to do in life he will go far.

Science teachers from across the state and the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) are honored for the April 2018 Oklahoma Science & Technology Month. Students nominated by their teachers will receive certificates of recognition signed by Governor Mary Fallin and OCAST Executive Director Michael Carolina.

The annual event is designed to showcase Oklahoma’s outstanding students who excel in STEM or Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Students from each of Oklahoma’s 77 counties have been recognized during the special observance since its inception 24 years ago.

The students being honored, however, are not aware of the awards and will not receive their certificates until the awards assembly later this month.

The following teachers and students are local participants being honored:

TEACHER

Deborah McGhee

STUDENTS

Landry Forsyth, 9th Grade Physical Science

Hannah Owens, 9th Grade Physical Science

Sara Ballard, 10th Grade Biology

Nicole Burton, 10th Grade Biology

Aaron Nitka, 11th Grade Chemistry

Dalee Barrick, 12th Grade Chemistry

Science & Technology Month is an opportunity to promote education in science and technology related courses and to emphasize the importance of these fields to Oklahoma’s economy.

“We all know the students who excel in the math and sciences now will be the innovators who will lead the way for our future. It is incumbent upon us to do everything we can to encourage, teach, remove barriers and find a way for our students to achieve levels of greatness that will drive the industry of tomorrow,” said Carolina.

OCAST is the state’s technology-based economic development agency created in 1987 to expand and diversify Oklahoma’s economy and foster new and higher quality jobs.
