Debating was filled with such experience as a three hour unheated bus ride in below freezing weather, week- end, tournaments, and informal get-togethers with de- baters from other schools. On all levels of competition, it was a season of success and enjoyment for the Stevenson team. Thirteen returning seniors and juniors and a group of talented sophomores provided debate coach George Croll with many options. The results were top places in tourna- ment and league competition, bringing in over iifty indi- vidual and team trophies. Team efforts combined with unanticipated school support to make Stevenson a well- known name in debate.

Barb Loehne had trouble convincing Micky Kolodziej and an uninterested Donna Dove that the STEP candy was delicious. x 76 STEP '45
