[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be old, but for over a century there was one Valedictorian and one Salutatorian. They have the HS graduation speeches. Is this endemic of everyone gets a trophy?[/quote] At my Bethesda public HS, the speech-giver has been chosen by audition for as long as I am aware. Wouldn't you rather have the best speech-giver give the speech? Who cares which student inched out the other several students by .0001 GPA - even if there wasn't a tie? Especially at a school where the number of kids on their way to Ivys, military academies, top publics at full scholarship, etc is pretty high? Valedictorian culture always struck me as small town or more rural culture. [/quote]
