ae i ; ay + | Students Utilize Talents In Forensic League The appeal of the CHS Speech Team lies in its wide range of categories. The addition of the Multiple Reading Category to the list of competitive fields added to the dimensions of oral expression. This category consists of five to eight members who dramatize a selection through facial expressions and words, without props or motions. This year’s team was successful in the Dioces an Competition. The 21 members who made it to the finals all waxed triumphant with Gold Medals. oe More opportunities for competition were available to the members with added meets at Boston. Unification of the team came from the direction of Ms. Barbara Wrega and the team’s officers, who for the first time played a role in the planning of competitions. With the experience of Mark Chartier and Julie Koeniger the CHS Debating Team continued its excellent performance. One of the earliest successes of the team was a disputed second place finish in Burlington, Vermont. This year’s National Debate Topic: “Resolved: That the U.S. government should significantly change the method of election of the Vice-President,” proved interesting and pertinent. Extensive preparation for this topic necessitated researching the election process, the purpose of the electoral college, campaign laws, and the requirements for voting. Mr. William McBride, moderator of the team, was pleased with its performance and the team’s placement in National Finals at Philadelphia. 22
