Area speaker continues winning ways
MARGARET JARVIS
Margaret Jarvis, 18, of Brussels,
has come a long way in her nine
years of public speaking, proving
that hard work does indeed pay off.
After coming "so close the past two
years, Miss Jarvis has finally won
the Multiple District A-9 competi
tion in Shelburne, on April 6.
A Grade 13 student at F.E.
Madill in Wingham, she began
publicly speaking in Grade 4.
This confidant young lady now
represents two organizations in the
Brussels area; the Legion and the
Lions.
Recently speaking for the Brus
sels Legion, Miss Jarvis won both
the Local competition in Wingham
and the Zone competition in Clin
ton. She went on to place first in
the Port Elgin District Finals, and
third at the Provincial semi-Finals
in Aurora.
But it has been representing the
Lions where she has gained her lat
est success. At the Multiple District
A-9 competition, in Shelburne on
April 6, she placed first in the
English Girl category.
Miss Jarvis' winning speech, The
Meaning Of Life, refers to striving
towards your goals to achieve what
you want out of life. Through her
research and by drawing upon her
on experiences, Miss Jarvis has
come to the conclusion that the
"essence of life is the search for
happiness and the fulfillment of
one's dreams."
Miss Jarvis will go on to the MD
"A" Effective Speaking Contest
Finals in Toronto, May 1-3. All the
provinces east of Ontario will be
participating in the competition.
One thing she enjoys about her
opportunity is that total strangers
quite often approach her, congratu
lating her on her speeches. She also
enjoys remaining in contact with
many of the people she has met
through the various events.
Miss Jarvis wishes to thank the
Legion and the Lions for helping
her through it all. For as she says
"without them it all wouldn't have
been possible."
Miss Jarvis' future ambition is
to be a Broadcast Journalist. Last
year she began working for Trilli
um Cable, in Listowel, in a co-op
program. To gain further experi
ence, she has remained on as a vol
unteer.
Miss Jarvis will be appearing
Wed. April 15, at 7:25 P.M. on the
Lions TV Bingo (Brussels Cable
12), reciting her prize winning
speech.
Another local winner at the Shel
burne competition on April 6, was
Shawn Fair of Bluevale. The 14
year old, Grade 9 F.E. Madill stu
dent won first place in the English
Boys category.
His speech Bach and Rock com
pared how music affects different
people, different ways.
Shawn also looks forward to the
competition in Toronto, saying, "it
will be a good experience and a
chance to meet kids from other
parts of Canada, such as Labrador
and Quebec."
