 “Well, you see.” Marla Mob- ley clarifies a vital argument during a debate. No. he’s not practicing a golf swing. Jeremy Grace brushes up on a few gestures for his speech piece. hetoric eason enown Fun. friends, and fabulous memories sounded like the offering of any club on cam- pus. But when the clubs were composed of the best, like National Honor Society and Speech and Debate, friendships weren’t all that was gained. Students found their rhetoric and reason re- warded with renown. Performers weren’t al- ways on stage. Often times, students spent hours prac- ticing to speak in front of a judge from behind a podi- um. They dedicated week- ends to competing with sometimes funny, some- times dramatic excerpts from plays, while others ar- gued about society’s prob- lems. But these hours wer- en’t without reward. Setting a precedent, the team sent two members to the national tournament last year and was feared throughout the state. Sara Boucher ex- claimed, “I hope our many hours of work are repaid with friendships, trophies, and acclaim.” Excellence in the class- room also led to renown. Students who worked to- wards top grades comprised the membership of NHS. Besides their common bond of high grades, members formed friendships through their work for Dobson. They dedicated hours of service in such activities as being hug- gers for Special Olympics and being guides on Step-Up Day. NHS projected honor as they worked for recogni- tion. Reason and rhetoric cre- ated renown. The best of Dobson worked to grab this recognition from classmates and the community. Design by Tina Kwasnica.

Mrs. Conder makes sure she checks the paper before she eats a Munchkin. Jason McLoney tries to con- vey a bright idea to Keith Connolly for the sports page. Paul Nelson patiently waits for a Quill and Scroll meet- ing to come to order. Literary Arts, Newslab, and Quill and Scroll were the best bets for people who liked to write. Literary Arts published Perspectus, a compilation of students’ writing and artwork. The publication most seen by students was The Mustang Roundup which kept everybody well- informed of things that hap- pened around the campus. Staffers followed their noses for news to give top cover- age to current events. Also, they wrote special features on issues which directly af- fected students. “The staff and editors used endless en- ergy to keep improving the writing and style of the pa- per.” said Heather Max- well, co-editor of the Roun- dup. For students who served on either Perspectus. The Mustang Roundup, or Equus. Quill and Scroll was an honorary club whose pur- pose was to encourage those students with an inter- est in journalism. Literary Arts, Newslab, and Quill and Scroll pro- vided the perfect niche that many talented writers looked for. Design bp Wendy Wright. Photos bp Ashlep Towne.
