Luvaris speech contest began in 1964. "The tournament began because of his interest in speaking. He wished to promote speaking at the junior and senior levels. That's where we got the requirement that participants have to be juniors and seniors," said Noid. Luvaris was on Weber's debate team and graduated from Weber when it was a junior college. After graduating, he maintained close relations by participating as a judge for debate tournaments for many years, said Noid. Luvaris contributed money for cash prizes for contest winners while he was alive and, upon his death, created a trust fund that provides the cash prizes each year, said Noid. it A Fine Quality Diamond Engagement Ring. x.
