Cleveland Rotary Club

Honoring Four Way Test Recipients.

For the fifth year, the Cleveland Rotary Club has honored a senior and teacher from Bayou Academy and Cleveland Central High School during the club’s annual Four-Way Test program. The Rotary Club recognizes these individuals for living by the 4 Way Test.

The seniors chosen were LaQwariyea’ Williams from Bayou Academy and Zamaria Jones from Cleveland Central High School.

She plans to attend Delta State this fall majoring in Computer Information Systems.

The teachers chosen this year were Kathryn Danna from Bayou Academy and Adriane Cannon from Cleveland Central High School. Danna has a graduate degree in education from Delta State University and has been teaching for more than 15 years. She teaches English.

Adriane Cannon is also an English teacher with more than 23 years as an educator, and she has also coached basketball and tennis. Cannon has a graduate degree in curriculum and instruction from Grand Canyon University. 

One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor. The Four-Way Test includes these questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Cleveland Rotary Club President Sean Wessel said, “Our Club is proud to recognize these four outstanding individuals for the exemplary way they carry themselves in our community. They all clearly adhere to the principles of Rotary’s Four-way Test, and we’re happy to honor them in this way.” The Four-Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943 and has been translated into more than a hundred languages.
