Speechy Keen! l The Speech Team has once again had a superi- or speech season thanks to hard work and the coaching of Mr. Bob Brunley. They have worked up a tremendous reputation in South- ern Indiana for winning so much that several area rival schools started wearing Reitz Bust- ers buttons. The Reitz NFL responded by wearing Psyche! buttons of their own. Winning does not come easy to them. Most categories work every day after school for hours. Although the speech season generally runs from November to April, they work all year long preparing for workshops, helping the Middle School Speech program and rais- ing money for their various trips. Reitz is vir- tually the only speech team in Evansville that travels overnight. This year they traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio, for a meet that lasted two days. Over 104 schools competed in the meet and Reitz finished 4th. Semi-finalists were: Stan Angermeier, Lacee Vadbunker, Andrea Nowling, Marlissa Hughes, Darren Haygood, Carrie Nevill, Lee Ann Lyons, Mary Koewler, and Lisa Caton. g They had a rather big disappointment going to the Munster meet. After a six hour bus ride they found that the meet had been canceled because of snow. Nevertheless, they have had an awesome sea- son with a record of 194 to 3! They have competed in eight varsity and two novice meets and will be going for their 8th sectional and 2nd regional win. Congratula- tions and Good Luck Speech Team! 84 - Photo By Hal
