Forensics Along with a formal curriculum, stu- dents of Neumann High also have the op- portunity to grow in their appreciation of the finer things of life. Enthusiastic interest is shown in speech, debate, journal- ism, music, drama, and art. After a busy day of hitting the books, the traditional Neumann student may find himself at Football practice, a stage band engagement, planning debate strategy, even dress rehearsal, or trying'’ to lay out the yearbook. At times sleep is the only unknown to the well-rounded student. Since Neumann High ranks among the top schools in speech activity, she was granted an affiliate membership in the National Forensic League. The NFL is a national honor society for students ex- celling in speech work.

The team of John and Carolyne, assisted by Ken and Ruth, defeated Fremont, Omaha Marian, and Bellevue High Schools to gain recognition as the first Nebraska television debate champions. 28 DIVINE'S FAMILY STORE Valparaiso, Nebraska hit's a pleasure to serve you.
