Q Q Q if 'Rallies bufaiims tone time or another a lot of people have wanted to be a lawyer and debate their cases in front of a court. The people on the Forensics Team did this in front of a panel of judges who rated them according to their material, control, and delivery. They competed in various tournaments throughout the year in such places as U of A, ASU, Xavier, Peoria, Glendale, Phoenix, and Prescott. Sponsor Judy Wallace said, We used our brains, not our brawn, to compete, and were proud to promote a good image to represent Mountain View. There were eight categories of debate: Lincoln Douglas De- bate, Humor, Poetry, Prose, Drama, Duo-acting, Oratory, and Extemporaneous speaking. Lincoln Douglas Debate was the regular type of debate, humor included amusing poems or speeches, drama was melodramatic, duo-acting consisted of two people performing sketches, oratory included monologues, and extemporaneous speaking was when a member was given a topic and a certain allotment of time in which to prepare a speech.
