Ray is the two-time district champion in Extemporaneous Speaking, so naturally he’s got himself a big head. Sorry, a flat head. Ray’s flattop could serve as a model plane runway. But Ray is going off to college next year, or perhaps if he’s lucky, to Korea - so the team sponsor asks him to coach Marilyn in the ways of speaking extemporaneously. Marilyn manages to upset Ray at the competition, perhaps because her speech included fewer rants about lizard people. Can Ray find out a way to be a Good Loser about the whole endeavor? Or will he internalize the humiliating defeat into a general loathing of society as a whole and wind up moving to Alaska to work as a fish gutter before dying at age twenty-six in a drunken snowmobile accident? Find out in The Good Loser!
