DEBATORS IMPROVE their technique under contest conditions. SGCIETY EXPANDS lN A YEAR OF SUCCESS EXTEMP SPEAKER scans world news before contest. ELLIOT MOORMAN poses with first place trophy won in extemp contest. When the voice of Essex speaks, people listen. To no one's sur- prise, this has become the tend- ency nowadays among other schools with the advent of Essex Catholic as a major power in forensic competition. The Ora- tory and Debate teams, how- ever, did not let the taste of victory overwhelm them. Instead they proceeded to practice early in the season, thus foretelling a brilliant year in both the Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions. And, let it be known, Oratory and Debate, as an interscholas- tic activity has finally come of age here at Essex.
