imited funding, a new sponsor, and only four members in the debate team caused problems. But with talent, hard research, organization and practice, Chris Fairman-James Starr and Roberto Corrada-Tracy Hester advanced to at least semi-finals in every contest. They learned about debate from each other and on their own. They learned how to do research, structure their thinking and speak persuasively in front of judges and audience. For the first few times you get up and debate, you get really nervous and can't speak. You have to learn to speak olf the top of your head and think logically, said Tracy. Contest results proved that all the time they spent researching and organizing facts, index cards and flow charts was worth the time consumed, At San Antonio Churchill, novices Corrada-l-tester took second place, and Starr-Fairman placed first in cross-examination. Corrada-l-tester placed first at Texas Lutheran College, while Fairman-Starr achieved second place at Corpus Christi King, Competing with students from all over the country at the University of Pittsburgh, Fairman-Starr earned fourth place. Chris Fairman is the best extemporaneous speaker in the state, agreed Roberto Corrada and Tracy Hester. Talent and skill is what really makes a great debater. 1 Chris Fairman supplements James Starr's information with more ideas and facts. Team- work and coordination was an important part of debate. 2 James Starr, Tracy i-tester, Roberto Corrada. and Chris Fairman go over material that has been gathered and researched.
