Aviation held three of the four top speaker positions, with Schofield, Zirbel, and quarter-finaUst Chalon MuUins placing fir.st, .second, and fourth respectively. To prepare for these new tournaments the de- partment was successful in sending thirt - people to summer forensic workshops at various college cam- puses across the country. These sessions lasted from two to four weeks and the students lived and studied on such campuses as Purdue, Uni ersity of South- ern California, California Lutheran, Redlands, Northwestern, Arizona State, Ohio State, and the University of the Pacific. Mr. Glover summed up the program ' s success by saying, We know that our reputation has grown because we have receixed dozens of in itations to summer workshops from good colleges and universities, even as far away as Long Island, New York.

Scouting offers many opportunities like this to teenagers. Discussing controversial problems, wheeling patients down hospital corridors, counseling de- prived children, and attending Red Cross seminars were a few of the off-campus endeavors in which Aviation students participated. Besides keeping a strong academic record and joining in extra-curricular activities, .students gained prestige by serving in community service organizations. Anytown representatives related the spirit of tolerance to others while Dave Laffoon, a Red Cross representative, succeeded in bringing honor to Aviation by becoming the Red Cross Chapter president. Serving the community was a project Mr. Green ' s sophomore history class undertook in an effort to achieve understanding with community leaders. The band, also, gave their time and en- thusiasm by participating in ground-breaking ceremonies. Thus, even as the older generation gnashes its teeth over imagined teenage mi.sdeeds, Aviation students have spread out over the South Bay area to invest their time and skills in helping others. 63
