State Your Debate Forensics was a speech and debate club which went to tournaments and debated is- sues. The club attended tourna- ments approximately ft)ur times during the school year, including one tournament at LINR. At the end of the year stu- dents were given individual awards for their pcrtormances in debates. The club was small this year, but the two girls, Cinthia Beck and Kendra Wastun, ho were the most competitive members of the team did a very good job at the debates, said the club advisor, Mr. Mc- Granaghan. There was also a Speech and Debate class which Mr. Mc- Granaghan taught fourth pe- riod, but not all of the students in the class were on the team.

I ead All Abcut It! Would anyone like to buy a pa- per? This was a question usually asked by students trom the news- paper staff when they entered Eng- lish classes monthly. The editor of the paper, Senior C017 Newtt)n, enjoyed being editor of the newspaper, but at times he said, It can be really nervewrack- ing and stressful. Also he had a lot of responsibility and pressure as the editor. Cory liked the responsibility and said, I think I work well un- der pressure. He ' s considering a career in broadcast journalism. Mrs. Staheli, the staff adviser. thought that there were some very good writers on the staff and that most of the students on the staff were willing to put forth the effort to get a good paper printed and distributed. The newspaper was usually dis- tributed monthly and included ar- ticles on community problems, school activities and even on bands who were going to play or bands that did perform in Reno.
