Molly Schoenfeld survives challenges from two classmates in contest sponsored by Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary in Lafayette.

Molly Schoenfeld, who plans to enter UCLA this fall, won first prize of $300 in the annual Four-Way Test Speech Contest Friday at Postino restaurant. In a separate raffle, she also won an Echo smartpen valued at $200 - all in all a good morning's work.

Second- and third- place prizes -- $200 and $100 -- were won by Philip Chang and Alyssa Sheets, respectively.
