egree of Distinction rearing leadership capabilities was the intention of the Na- tional Forensic League fNFLj. Qualifications to attain membership were a minimum of 25 NFL points, gradually attained throughout the year, by participating in speech tournaments. Students' acclaimed various degrees after each competition. Each degree available had a required amount of points. The ultimate goal was the degree of distinction, which could be reached by achieving 250 points in individual events and 250 points in debate. The purpose of only allowing students to receive half of the 500 points in each catagory was to be able to further their abilities in oral interpretation, public speaking, and communicatin. Speech tournaments involved many events. Those classified as individual events included interpretations, im- promptu, humor, and poetry. etc. The other events were two-man debate, known as traditional debate, and one- man debate in Lincoln-Douglas. Ed Gray commented, Scholarships look highly at a person in NFL. Ramage-White went on, Most colleges acknowledge the NFL which definately helps its members. As for the future of NFL, This year's members have a lot of talent and work very hard. The majority were freshmen that showed great potential, replied Ramage-White. Students were initiated into NFL in the spring usually starting out with a degree of merit. After tournaments it's exciting to see how many points you got, admitted Lisa Roubal. r National Forensic League-Top row: Robert Wimmer, Donna Baceski.
