Winners were Sandra Smith, first place in girls extemporaneous speak¬ ing. Derrick Mays placed third in the boys poetry reading con¬ test. During the Regional Forensic Meet at Old Dominion Univer¬ sity, Sandra and William cap¬ tured third place in extem¬ poraneous speaking. This rating did not permit them to enter state competition; nevertheless, the experiences which they received while competing at the district and regional levels were invaluable. Bobby Blackwell and Curtis Starke attended the District II VIC A Conference and partici¬ pated in the skills contest. Curtis received the District II Carpentry Skills Award. If there is someone present who has “the gift of gab, please stand up! This gift paid off for William Powell, Jr., at the district forensic meet, for he had no troubie at all capturing first place in boys extemporaneous speaking. He lectured for approximately four minutes on “Salt II and Its Effects on World Peace. Luckily, when the topics were tossed into the hat at the district forensic meet, Sandra drew a topic relating to one which she had previously researched for a term project in her advanced grammar and composition class. She was so comfortable with her topic that she plastered her chewing gum to the side of her teeth and let the words flow. Even with the “chewing gum penalty, she still received first place in girls extemporaneous speaking. 6 Forensic VICA
