speech hosts first qualifying tournament Because of the exceptional tal- ents of Plano's speech students, the forensic team had a very suc- cessful year. Greatly responsible for their achievements was new speech teacher, lvlr. James Long. Under his guidance the team won sweepstakes at seven tourna- ments and brought home over 100 individual trophies. In March, stu- dents attended the state speech tournament in Waco. This was the largest number of students ever to participate in the tournament from Plano. The Natiopal Forensic League gained many new members this year. Eleven juniors earned the 25 points required for membership and were inducted at a ceremony in December. In addition, several top speakers received the presti- gious Double Ruby. Among the major accomplishments of the NFL was hosting Plano's first annual Texas Forensic Associa- tion State Qualifying Tournament.
