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.

Santa Rita Council Jams o promote a healthy attitude toward Santa Rita, was what Student Council was about, stated Student Body President Matt Plaisted. Student Council wanted to improve the educational standards, school spirit, and have more student participation this year, added Plaisted. The Council gave students a chance for democratic representation in school, stated Susan Reno, advisor of two years. To be in student council, a lot was ex- pected of a person. One has to be a good listener and has to be aware of the things that are happening at school in order to get things done in an organized manner, stated Reno, seriously. Being on council gave me a chance to grow a lot and see how the real world operates, commented Ida Crocker. For Plaisted he learned something new everyday by working with people. He was also able to see people constantly changing as he got experienced in dealing with people. Student Council's goal last year was to promote patriotism toward Santa Rita. Plaisted looked forward to the Spring Carnival with total student participation. All 32 members of Student Council met everyday during second hour to discuss the many events which they had planned. For the past 15 years, Santa Rita's Student Council had been trying to better the school. The council is here to provide different activities for the students, because that is what we are all about, the students, explained Reno. Crocker added, Santa Rita jams! In Student Council we work hard to make the students happy. We aim at making school a happy place. STUDENT GOVERNMENT 205
