The 101th Prize Speaking competition took place on the Brauer Auditorium stage on December 7. Two Upper School students gave spectacular performances. Prize Speaking is a school tradition that originated at St. Louis Country Day School.

Congratulations to our talented performers:

Athena Tharenos `20, the opening of J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Hobbit
Amarah Friedman `20, the poem “These Days” by Alice Walker.

A panel of faculty judges chose Athena Tharenos as this year’s winner. Her name will be engraved on the Dartmouth Cup.
