Both Loras students and faculty moderators spent many hours and traveled many miles in preparation, judging, and participation in related activities in pursuit of superiority in public speaking. All told, Loras speakers competed in nine different forensic tournaments during the year, events such as the Iowa Intercollegiate Forensic Associations Interpretive Festival at Iowa State University in Ames. In the course of the year Loras speakers competed with other speakers from such schools as the Univer¬ sity of Wisconsin, Marquette, the University of Iowa, Loyola and others. Many of the trophies garnered by the Loras speakers were in individual events, but the biggest prize of all was the Sweepstakes trophy won by the sum of the Loras individuals at the Bradley Tourna¬ ment in mid-November. The Lorasmen faced com¬ petition from 74 other colleges and universities from ten states. It was truly a year for the Forensics team to fill the trophy case.
