The 4-Way Speech Contest is an opportunity for high school students to compete for scholarship money by presenting a speech based on a topic that applies to the Rotary International theme of the year and the 4-Way Test.

In 1932 Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created the 4-Way Test when he was asked to take over a company facing bankruptcy. The 4-Way Test became one of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics. It was adopted by Rotary International in 1943 and has been translated into hundreds of languages.

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

The contest is held at a joint meeting of the La Verne Rotary Club and the San Dimas Rotary Club in February.
