They entered 14 speech tournaments and members pro- gressed to semifinals and finals many times. Interested students first joined the Speech Club. After earning 25 points, they were eligible for membership in NFL. We were always challenged by our theme, The Criminal Court System. It was very difficult to work with, said vice president Brett Estep, Hard work and dedication go into speech and debate, said Mrs. Sophie Sands, sponsor. In between preparing for tour- naments and competition, members sold candy and sponsored a two day junior high speech tournament to earn money. Five members qualified for state competition. Shironica George qualified in women's extem- poraneous speaking, Donis Leonard in humorous interpretation and dramatic interpretation, Mike Lovell in humorous interpretation, Laura Spann in original oratory and Ray- mond Stubblefield in dramatic interpretation. Donis Leonard advanced to semifinals at state and placed in the top 20 in humorous interpretation. UlL competition ended the year for the Speech Club.
