The class committee, made up of Class Marshals and House representatives, spent two afternoons listening to over 30 auditions. The speeches were submitted after spring break and each person who submitted an oration was given an audition.
"We ended up seeing some tremendous performances," Krebs said.
According to Krebs, this made for a very difficult selection process.
Fellow Class Marshal Terry McGovern '00 added that "there was some arguing," but that they "tried to make it as fair as possible."
He said the committee is extremely happy with its choices.
The winners were notified approximately one week after the auditions, Stevenson said. He liked the process, in large part because students were responsible for making the selections.
