From novice to advanced, debaters Dominate the state The debaters have been ranked among the top in the state of Louisi- ana and are considered among the best in many other parts of the coun- try. The novice debaters as well as the more advanced debaters achieve the highest recognition in all areas of competition. Careful strategy as well as days of compiling, more than ade- quate information, has been the basis of the success rate of the team. We must not forget the important role of the debate coach, Mr. Don Belanger. He has kept the teams competing all over the country and they certainly brought in the rewards. The debaters have stunned the nation with its tal- ent, and it won t stop here. The team will continue to compete and contin¬ ue to win. Debate, argumentation on a specif- ic topic, has been the mark of fame for our debaters. A TEAM OF SUCCESS: (Front Row) Alissa Eller. Kenny Mine, Randle Moore, Jennifer Keene, Ray Gilsoul.

History Club Digging Up The Past In joining History Club, students have expected any amount of explo- ration as it relates to events past. Whether members contributed to the location of graves and the catalogu- ing of gravestones at Coats Bluff (as in 1986), or simply to the sponsorship of a history theme party (as in 1987), an appreciation of historic accounts has existed within the organization. it seemed that the general purpose of History Club was to enjoy leaming through experience, whether that ex- perience be self-lived or illustrative. Vice-president Amy Ratcliff named her most enjoyable experience with Histo¬ ry Club as Going to Jefferson (Texas) and the T.C. Lindsey Store. Such ex- periences have certainly been valu- able in leaming. Work was made into pleasure as History Clubbers found ease in study- ing with companionship. Teresa nix- on said, l enjoy working with the people in History Club. Teresa thought that enthusiasm and comrad- ship were just as much a requirement of the dub ' s functioning as anything. People insuring a future by securing the past; That is History Club. As Cic¬ ero said, Mot to know what hap- pened before one was bom is always to be a child. HISTORY CLUB OFFICERS secretary treasurer Randy James, president Linh Mguyen, and vice- president Amy Ratcliff make it their business to organize interesting ways for members to par¬ ticipate. 232 • MARKIMG DIFFEREMCES HISTORY CLUB MEMBERS are (sitting) Shelly Phillips.
