The five categories in which Althoff generally enters contes¬ tants are: extemporaneous speaking, original oratory, radio speaking, oral interpretation, and duet acting. Our Speech Club regularly participated in the Bi-State Catholic Interscholastic Speech League and Illinois Catholic Speech League. In February, Althoff entered the Illinois District Speech Meet, which was the first time they took part in a non-Catholic Speech contest. Three Althoff students won medals in this meet, qualifying them to go on to regional competition.

Debate Club Captures Trophy Due to a lack of Debate compe¬ tition in our area the Debate Club drew little attention in the first part of the year. Since then the club has captured the second place title in the novice division of the Belleville Invitational Tourna¬ ment. The Debate Club has thus made great strides under the super¬ vision of the Debate Coach, Sister M. Francis, S.S.N.D.
