, W- I':?15UXi !iB 101 f Debate-Forensics-Thespians Forensics Win Top Ratings At State Tourney Let's run through our lines one more time Have you found your room yet? I had that judge last time, and he ranked me something like seventh out of eight . . . I lost my voice halfway through that last round. I know it did me in . . . When are they posting finals? . . . WE MADE IT! Undaunted by the mistakes, mishaps and temporary lacks of self-confidence that come with competition, consistent victories at tournaments proved the for- ensics team to be, in the words of Coach Mary Jabara, the strongest in the his- tory of the school? Out of twenty-seven state tournament entries, twenty-three were awarded gold medals, and the re- maining four entries received second place. Health care and the hundreds of cases arising from this topic were the subjects of discussion for debators, as chosen by popular vote of debate coaches nationwide. Debate 1 and 2 were considered courses for credit, but also involved much extracurricular work as the combined classes attended both open tournaments in which any debator could participate, and novice tournaments involving first year stu- dents only. The Thespians were organized under the sponsorship of Drama instructor Mary Jabara, to establish and pro- mote standards of excellence in all phases of dramatic arts. They pro- duced and performed the Medicine Show and a children's play late in the year. Perhaps the most visible aspect of Thespians was their annual initiation day in which new members wore cos- tumes of widely-known dramatic char- acters.

Among the award winners were John Collison, Gary Gibson, Stephanie Lisowski and Jill White, all l78. Also, Gibson, Collison, Scott Lee and Bruce Sorrell, both '79, and David Miers, '80, received Outstanding Player Awards at the Central States Jazz En- semble Festival in Hutchinson. Aside from their usual concerts and contests, the Jazz Ensemble performed at Law- rence-Dumont Stadium for the opening Aeros game. The Concert Choir performed tradi- tional Christmas numbers at their an- nual Christmas Concert and were the recipients of new choir robes. Pur- chased partially through funds acquired from the previous year's production of Oliver, the robes were red with white stoles.
