Five students from Amador and Argonaut High Schools competed in front of a packed Teresa’s banquet room Tuesday night for this year’s Amador Rotary Speech Contest. The theme for this year’s county wide Contest was “How Sharing Promotes Peace In The World.” John Young, a junior from Amador High School, took home 200 dollars in cash, a trophy, and the opportunity to compete for a 1,000 dollar prize in Reno during the Rotary District 5190 Conference in May. Amador Senior Claire McCaffrey won second place and 100 dollars. Third place and 50 dollars was awarded to Hana Casita, an Amador junior. Katie Hancock of Argonaut and Amador’s Charlie Merritt tied for fourth place and won 25 dollars.
