The Rotary Club of Blue Bell conducted its annual Four Way Test Speech Contest at Wissahickon High School on March 17, 2015.  The contest challenges students to prepare a speech on some issue of importance to them and to use the Rotary Four Way Test to analyze the issue.  All seven contestants were well prepared and demonstrated both an understanding of the Four Way Test and the analytical skill to apply the test to their chosen issue.

The top three students won cash prizes.  In third place, Sophie Wollman spoke movingly of the plight of transgender teens.  Second place winner Cami Pons looked at the common teen problem of excessive cell phone addiction.  First place winner Andrew Ge, who will be attending Princeton next year, enchanted the audience, judges and even fellow contestants, with a humorous analysis of procrastination.

 Andrew will be representing Wissahickon High School in the regional contest on Saturday, April 11 starting at 10:00 a.m. in College Hall at the Blue Bell campus of Montgomery County Community College.  The winner of the regional contest will compete at the Rotary District 7340 conference in Gettysburg at the end of April.

The Four Way Test, which guides the lives of Rotarians worldwide, embodies the following:

First, is it the Truth?

Second, is it Fair to all concerned?

Third, will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?

Fourth, will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
