Darnea Gillespie Diana Gladden Team Debates Include Controversy: Salvador and If speaking out was impor- tant, then only the trained outspoken spoke. To speak or not to speak, that was the focus of public speaking where statements heard included ‘‘ If guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns.” “El Salvador is a Vietnam in the puberty stage.” “El Salvador is crucial to America!” Any time one walked by room 110 con- troversial arguments vibrated the walls and they were the guts of Public Speaking. Team debates included sub- jects like Capital Punishment, more aid to El Salvador, and Gun Control. Debates took time, patience, and stragegy. To speak and to debate well meant many long hours in the library where factual information was gathered and converted into “Hard evidence,” which was the heart of debate in any speech. Twenty-six students enrolled in Norman Robinson’s Public Speaking class. There they im- proved their ability to speak well in front of groups. Competitive arguments lasted a week, with the strongest debators taking the contest. Impromptu speeches were used as time fillers in be- Aid to El “Guns” tween major oratory. Blue eyes, clouds, and even left blinkers were popular sub- jects on these amusingly fun- ny “talk off the top of your head” speeches. Four students: Tony Daysog, Rudra Sil, Alex Zeissig, and Russell Hunter wrote, memorized, and recited speeches from the Constitution for the American Legion Annual Speech contest. The young speakers practiced their speeches regularly aloud for the class. After hearing the speeches so many times some classmates could probably recite the speeches themselves. Practicing really paid off though. Cash prizes were awarded for the best speeches. Tony Daysog received $400.00 for his speech titled ‘My Duties And Responsibilities As A Citizen Under the U.S. Con- stitution.’” Smaller cash prizes were awarded to Rudra Sil, Alex Zeissig, and Russell Hunter. Those who took the class could have adopted the motto: ‘! have Spoken!” FAR ABOVE: Craig Storm kicks back while answering questions about his glow in the dark running shoes.
