forensics l students win at tournaments following their winning tradition, the forensics team took first in numerous tournaments during the season. students attended competition every saturday from january till mid april. we 'd get to a tournament and ifyou go to fin- als, you'd have done your speech five times. i'd get so hoarse, i couldn't talk till the next week when i'd have to do it all over again. tim morrow, senior on february 15, the team sponsored their own tourney for other schools. kansas' unpredictable weather produced a blizzard, forcing distant schools to cancell at the last minute. students in charge, however, pulled it out and successfully rearranged the rounds. the weather screwed everything up and we spent the whole day rescheduling everything. i 've never been so tired in my life-i about passed out at the sweetheart dance. craig helser, junior another storm plagued the carroll forensic-ers on their trip to salina south. they were snowed in and had to stay over an extra night. if you have to be snowed in, i can 't think ofa neater group to be snowed in with. mrs. katie mchenry, coach another overnighter the students looked forward to was the annual trip to kansas city. the outing turned out to be fun for some who shopped at crown center, but it was a disaster for the coach. mrs. mchenry came down with the flu, so brother steve foral had to take a group to topeka for a tournament, while the other students had to re- turn home and were forced to cancell out of the kansas city competition. it didn't bother me about not going to the tournament. i was too scared after staying up all night with katie to even care, she was so sick! kathy faires, senior on the brighter side, the team cleaned up at the wichita south invitational where the competi- was tough. almost 300 contestants from schools as far away as garden city participated. carroll brought home the coveted first place sweepstakes plaque, with four-year forensics students mary angelee smith and ron thackery both winning first place medals in extemporaneous speaking. m y four years in forensics were very rewarding. that first place made it all worthwhile! ron thackery, senior rounding out the season, the squad traveled to great bend for the state tourney april 12. eight people won first place medals, and, unofficially, carroll finished second overall. in addition to tournaments, the two classes of forensics students put on performances during break to raise money for mission club's lenten dollar project. page seventy six forensics
