This year they qualified for elimina- tion rounds and won in numerous tour- naments.

I f git Forensics Team Consistently Successful Small, but very successful, the Seaholm forensics team consistently shines at tournaments and competition, coached to perfection under the direction of Mr. Iohn Klemme. The efforts by both stu- dent and coach are evident when looking at the fine reputation Seaholm has in the Contest Speech circles. Though much of this year's team is new to the class, there is a core of experienced speakers return- ing. Students prepare for weekend tournaments, gaining awards as well as personal satisfaction, competing with other speakers from all over Michigan as well as from other states. The members of the team persuade, inform and im- press the judges with their skills. Most of the categories are individual events, ranging from oratorical and informative speaking to inpromptus, extem- poraneous, story telling and serious or humorous interpretation. The two events which require more than one more speaker are duos, either serious or humorous, and the four to six member multiple reading group. 281
