Every word must be perfect when you are speaking in competi- tion. Butterflies in your stomach, cold feet, jitters, having to go to the bathroom, and stuttering were common occurrences for participants. When you got up before a room full of judges star- ing at you, you just wanted to run away — fast. It was a big year for forensics. More people competed in the school contests than ever before. There were more people that placed in district and regional levels than ever before. Krista Robinson placed fifth in district girls’ prose. Pam Hamric was a third place finisher in spelling. Libby Biggerstaff, Mike Bush, and Angie Elkins went to regionals after placing second in the speaking contests. Benny Mays and Becky Riner placed first in district and participated in regionals in boys’ and girls’ poetry. Benny received second place in regional competition and second in state competition. Leading the winners were: Miss Jordan — prose, Mrs. Tardy — Poetry, Mr. Martin — original oratory, Mrs. Miotke — extemporaneous speaking, Ms. Norris — spelling, and Mrs. Clay coordinated all the events. After the hard work, sweat, going to restrooms countless times, and nervousness, a sense of pride was felt when it all came together. Winning made them all want to keep on speak- ing up. 22 Lefty ... Libby Biggerstaff was creative in her own speech about the problems and advantages of being left-handed.
