These terms may look unfamiliar, but to a certain ambitious team, these terms were common place. Members of the Debate Team prepared themselves each day sixth period for upcoming competitions. Tournaments were held at places as small as Barnwell, S.C., and as large as Harvard Debate University in Massachusetts. The team was respected nationwide for their many titles and tournament wins, two of which were the S.C. State Champion Debate Team and Fifth Debate Team in the nation. As the year progressed, the Debate Teamls accomplishments and awards were apparent as the trophy case was filled with plaques, trays and trophies. Overall, the debaters seemed to enjoy the team. Mike Meilinger said, The most important thing I enjoy about debate is that it's an intellectual challenge to compete against other teams, and the work that you put into it is very rewarding in many areas of life. Suzanne Jaskevich bluntly wrapped things up, Debate is the only salvation in high school existence. Dawn McCraw This takes some thought. Glenn Spencer and Bruce Cowgill hear a case on water quality. iPhoto by Nancy Smith.l

72, 1, iifsizct Ju 'E tElI'lLlI1g' Getting started was the hardest thing to do for FBLA and the Junior Academy of Science. Everyone had to work together. FBLA provided opportunities to develop vocation and career compentencies. The year started out with plans for FBLA to up-date the business curriculum by requesting new courses and equipment. They also had plans to recruit more people into business courses. The Junior Academy of Science was the only statewide organization of high school students designed to stimulate and promote interest among its members through the development of basic research investigations in science and mathematics. Members attended the fall workshop at Newberry College and participated in classes featuring forensic medicine, horticulture, wildlife science, and vital staining of a chick embryos. James Garrett said, Although it was a lot of fun, there was not much to be learned. Selected members of the team took the Biology Merit Exam at Clemson in April and the students also attended the Annual Meeting at Clemson. At the Annual Meeting, they were able to listen to noted speakers at the symposium Genetic Engineering - A Natural Science. Ellen Stevens FBLA 141
