Saxon Speakers Gain High l-ionors Despite Tough Competition The National Forensics League is a national speech honor soci ety designed tor students who parti- cipate in interscholastic speech and debate competitions. North ' s own NFL chapter made up the bulk of it ' s forensics squad and sent them to various sites to vie against others in state competi- tions. Sponsored by Mr. Reynolds, the NFL and Speech Club— de- signed for any Saxon interested in speech — had a fairly successful and a fun year. Aside from strenuous competi- tions, other activities for these orators included a Christmas party, ICC Carnival booth for raising funds, and an awards ban- quet. Here, recognition was given to Saxons who made exceptional gams in speech. ' Rats!! I feel a counter-plan coming on ROW 1: Wayne Matoba. Robert Ward. Dan Beach, Ray Futterer.

I Building for tlie Future The purpose of the Industrial Arts club was to offer an opportunity for the development of construc- tive leisure activities. Belonging to the club also satisfied the creative desires of its members, regardless of their professional interests. Part of each meeting time, after the ordinary business was com- pleted, was devoted to working on do-it-yourself projects. Everyone enjoyed making useful articles from a few tools and raw materi- als. Field trips were arranged for the club to visit industries such as the American Standard plant in Tor- rance. Watch your fingers!! How do you stop this crazy thing? says John Metzler. At least one of the Industrial Art students is VKorking, or is he?
