'if gif Team Work Really Paws When the speech team finally ar- rived at their destination, they would find a place to put the speech material. It was usually in a gym or a lunchroom. Competition was usually against six to eight other people in each round. A ter winning the first round, they went to the semi-finals or quarter finals. Then came the finals. Usually thirty schools attended a speech tournament. Some speech tournaments lasted two days. Awards were given at the end of the tournament to the first, second, third place winners. Poetry, Prose, Impromptu, Ex- tempt, Oratory, and many other subjects were entered at the tourna- ment. Debate was a good event for the Forensic team. The Forensic team debated on the topic of why the United States should curtail its arms sales to other countries. Going on tournaments meant long hours and tremendous amounts of work. After loading the school bus, everybody was ready and anxious to go to whatever tour- nament they had to go to win. The Forensic team went to approximate- ly fifteen tournaments a year ranging from Plano to San Antonio and sometimes farther. But Mr. Garner told us that the first, second, third place does not matter as much as the trying and self-confidence in yourself that you do your best, said William Mahoney. KAREN FRIEDRIGH and Charles Boone are helping in the loading of the bus. WILLIAM MAHONEY takes time out to wish the team luck with a message. GREG HESTER goes over his speech before the trip. KAREN MUSSELMAN and Greg Hester carry their bags to the speech room to checkin. Speech 141
