Debate is a good experience. It offers many things that you will use and makes you more aware of world affiarsf' -Tina Harrison. DEBATE! FORENSICS It's exhilarating! It is like a sport, but I hesitate to call it one because it is put beneath all other events. It should be given higher standing because of its academic value. - Mike Jacobs. Name: Shell, Marla Service: 4 years My past four years in debate and forensics have been the most rewarding years of my life. It wasn't just getting awards and recognition that made forensics so special, but rather, it was the knowledge and the experience that I gained. I feel that because of debate I am much more prepared for college, im- portant decisions, and life in general. Because of debate and speech I know that I may not always succeed at my endeavors, but I know that I will survive. Name: Wolf, Troy Service: 4 years After the defeat against St. Marys at regional debate, the judge told Mike Jacobs and I that he made a mistake, and we should have won that round and gone undefeated. That mis- take and losing state were real heartbreakers, but it was great getting second. E s I Debate takes a lot of time, but l've learned so much from it and it has been very fun. -Debbie Brungardt. It was really exciting. You get to meet a lot of people that you might otherwise never encounter. - Chris Loar.

Women's Ex- temp is a public speaking event requiring research on current affairs and the abili- ty to speak persuasively. ln June she will compete at the National Tournament in San Antonio, Texas. The idea of going to na- tionals is something every forensicator dreams of, but never believes that she will get the chance to go, said Shell. Only five Kansans qualified for this event. I think this is an excel- lent opportunity for Maria. She has had a successful year, but we both realize she has a significant amount of work ahead, said forensics coach, Mrs. Gail Naylor. The debate class also had something to boast about. The squad, consist- ing of seniors Troy Wolf, Maria Shell, and alternate Tone Wicklund-Hanseng ju- niors Mike Jacobs and Deb- bie Brungardtg and sopho- more alternate Tina Harri- son placed second at the state level competition. The Hoxie squad defeated Sil- ver Lake. One ringy-dingy. As the de- bate tournament is to begin, senior Tone Vllicklund-Hansen calls to see if a late judge is on his way. Photo by Maria Shell.
