We THIHIT TIME STATE SPEAKEHS Training in class makes the team hard to beat we were something to watch out Speech is the best organiza- tion for giving kids the poise and conhdence they need to feel at ease when they are around others or addressing others.

The speech team surprised many teams in the 1988 season by being very competitive. Because of the requirements of the competitive speech class in which most of the team was enrolled, the season began in November with two novice meets instead of in January. Speaking for the first time in class was not as bad as getting in front of judges at the meets for the first time, said Freshman Vonda Chamberlain. The speech classes helped create better speech students. The classes, taught by Instructor Cary Cox, gave students the experience of speaking on different levels and in different categories. Chamberlain noted, I think the class made us a better team and we knew more about what we were going into. The team had several freshmen students at the beginning of the year. By the state toumament, four of the twelve team members were freshmen. Having younger kids with the seniors was different than past years in speech, noted Senior Susan Apgood. Junior Jamie Schmidt said, With it being my first year, I thought being on the team was great. We'll miss the seniors and our coaches next year, but hopefully we'll pick up where we left off with the new advisor and be just as good. The 1988 season was the last coaching season for Advisors Cary and Relta Cox. The speech team took the 2A State Championship for the third consecutive year. Jensen placed third in dramatic and humorous interpretation and qualified to go to the district NFL meet where he placed first in Premium time. For at least eight weekends, the speech team is on the road with little study time. Senior Susan Apgood finds a good time to catch up is between the final debate rounds and Saturday awards. dramatic interpretation enabling him to compete at the National NFL meet in Nashville, Tenn. Jensen said he was excited to go to the national meet for the third time. The season ended in March for the team and the members said they were pleased with the outcome of the season. Speech is the best organiza- tion for giving kids the poise and confidence they need to feel at ease when they are around others or addressing others, said Jensen.

Clubs FHA the smallest clubs in school so nearly every member was an officer. First year Advisor Charlene Peppinger guided the group through new activities including joint efforts with Mountain View's FHA. FHA has taught the students how to associate with other people, use skills like cooking and sewing that they will need in the future, communicate with others and use leadership training, Peppinger said. To continue with the building of communication skills, the FHA worked more with Mt. View's chapter than in the past. Their mutual activities were filling Christmas baskets for the Valley senior citizens and sponsoring two children for Special Olympics. This will help stop the rivalries between the two Both schools have so much to schools, Peppinger noted. give each other that it doesn't make sense to be two different schools. Also we both have commmon intersts so we have been doing things together. Mt. View Advisor Jane Mayfield had been a former advisor at Lyman. Over the years Mayfield's Mt. View group produced several state officers and proved to be one of the largest and most active FHA chapters in southwest Wyoming. By working with Mt. View, Lyman was able to pick up some helpful hints. Other FHA activities were the getting to-know-youl' taco party where members elected officers and Junior Kim Lester's demonstration making monkey bread with all the club members helping. One of the popular activi- ties was making popcom balls, brownies and collecting cans for the senior citizens. My favorite activity was taking goodies to the senior citizens, Sophomore Sharla Williams noted. FHA also made craft projects like pierced earring holders and friendship bracelets. They had three main fundraisers: a cake walk for the Drill Team Halloween Camival, Valentine cookies with messages, and a quilt which they auctioned. It takes some time and some planning to get lessons ready for the students, Peppinger said. lt is worth the planning though. The students are so much fun to work with. My favorite part of being in FHA, Sophomore Cherlyn McDonald said, is just to meet together and do activities with everybody else. Kaelynn Smith
