National Forensics League Speaking with class The National Forensic League was an organization devoted to teacliing the fine art of persuasive and entertaining speech. The club ' s activities included speech competi- tion with other schools in the categories of Oratory, Dramatic and Humorous Interpretations, Impromtu speaking, and Extemporanious speaking which dealt with current events. Also, Newman hosted Student Congress which included political debates and parliamentary procedure. The NFL squad traveled to Tallahassee in November for the Florida State Student Congress and to St. Petersburg in April for the State tournament in individual events. The NFL members were also responsible for broadcasting the daily announcements in school.

Key Club Service with a smile They were the students who served others, and according to the club ' s vice-president, senior Mike Melnyk, the Key Club provided an excellent opportunity for a young individual to become a leader and not a follower. Key Club projects included long hours at the book sale, fund-raising events for charity purposes, and car rallies just for fun. They were the students who set up chairs in the gym for masses, too. Since the club is a service organization, much of their time was spent raising money to help others in the community. For example, they donated money to the poor in Indiantown, reinforcing their motto that Caring is our way of life.
