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.

“Stretch out Marco Polo on the Monkey Bar!” Such a com- mand was unheard of but the terms all applied to P.E. Bet- ween pull-ups and other assorted physical tests someone could always be found swinging on the monkey bars in the supreme concen- trated effort of building his or her physique just in case Hollywood makes a sequel to “Greystoke’’ and needs sophisticated Simian seconds! On the other hand if “Splash needs mermen and mermaids the practiced swimmers’ shouts of “Marco Polo” probably won't qualify them for a fish- tail part. September testing for presidential awards were man- datory for all students in P.E. Some of the less agile physical specimens muttered darkly that they didn’t think Ronald could do push-ups, side steps or the six minute jog walk even if he was in top campaign form. “So what, neither could Frits, Gary or Jesse!’ another realist replied. In any case the September test returned in March as participants were retested for their improved athletic prowess. Fortunately for the propriety, The Horizon, lost the fascinating results of the tests. The best thing to happen to P.E. was the addition of Sandy O’Rourke to the staff. Jazzer- cize has nothing on Encinal, and our aerobic artist led the EHS girls in an active routine during the open house extravaganza for parents in April. Watch out Channel 5, your 6:30 a.m. show may have future replacements from EHS! After a shower and away from getting physical nearly everyone admitted P.E. condi- tioning helped make the body beautiful and the muscles firm. The film fantasies and TV dreams helped workouts become fun and that is the name of the game. “FUN.” RIGHT: Alvin Pickatay stretches out before running the six mile jog walk.
