STATE BOUND Berlin team advances with mock-trial victory Members of Berlin High School Team 1 will advance to the state level of the High School Mock Trial Tournament after beating 10 other teams in regional com- petition in Oshkosh Saturday. Teams from Appleton. Hor- tonville and Neenan took part in a mock trial at the Winnebago County Courthouse. Thirty Win- nebago and Outagamie County Bar Association members judged the tournament. The mock trial consisted of each team trying an insurance claim case, said Vemice Haase. Region 5 tournament coordinator. The case involved the death of a young man. Teams had to deter- mine whether the death was an accident or suicide. “I feel real positive of the event today,” Ms. Haase said. “This is a great experience for students to express themselves. The winners went from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. without a break,” she said. “It was a close competition.” The Berlin team will meet 10 other -regional winners at the state competition March 13-14 in Madison. Berlin Team 1 members in- clude Geimy Geisdottir, Sheila Sheridan, Michelle Walters, Brian Lubbert. James Ruf, Andrew Murkofski and Eli Woyke. One winner from each state will advance to the national competi- tion in Washington, D.C., May 6-7. FORENSICS Row I: D. Briski. T. kollat. M. Kollal Row 2: A. Crcgar. D. Christiansen. R Stumpncr. J.
