On Monday, March 3, 2025, Coudersport Rotary Club held their annual 4-Way Test competition at A&W West End Grill. Rotarian Pat Northeimer began by introducing the 4-Way-Test speakers, judges and timekeepers.

The first student speaker, Alyah DiPlato, spoke about celebrity culture. The second student speaker, Joanna Chen, spoke about mental health.

Both speakers were so outstanding that the judges’ scores gave them a tie, which according to the guidelines had to be broken by choice of content.

Joanna Chen was declared the winner with Alyah DiPlato awarded 2nd place .

After the contest, both students gave the club some of their background and activities. Rotarian Paul Herzig noted that both students have volunteered to be involved with Town Council as Junior Council People.

Joanna Chen will move on to the regional competition this weekend.

Thank you to both students for a wonderful presentation before Coudersport Rotary Club.
