The 54th annual English Recitation Contest was held on June 20th, in the new Vories Memorial Chapel. In this year’s contest, 27 students competed. Their stories included such classics as Eric Carle's “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” Leo Leonni's “Swimmy,” and the Bible favorite “The Good Samaritan.”All of the students did an excellent job and performed their stories with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.  Their hard work over the past few weeks was clear for all to see, and made the afternoon an enjoyable one for all present.Following the new tradition started last year, each of the first grade classes performed one of their favorite worship songs: Rock My Soul, Swing Low, Jacob’s Ladder and We Shall Overcome. These were also familiar to many in the audience and helped to top off a great afternoon. Many of the first years also had their first chance to perform on the big stage and, though nervous, performed well.
