Express Yourself ls NFL Motto The 1974-75 debate squad, sponsored by IVlr. Kil- gore, had a busy year with tough competition. The topic for the season was ResoIved: That the United States should significantly change the method of sel- ecting presidential and vice-presidential candidates, This marked the first year for the LaVerne Hesser Debate Tournament in honor of Mrs. Hesser, former speech and debate coach. The Regional squad fared well in strong competi- tion at the Regional Tournament, one of the highlights of the debate season. The debators spent many hours of hard work in pre- paration for each tournament, The rewards are becom- ing more knowledgeable on the topic, meeting new people, and visiting other schools. The forensic season proved to be very successful with many of the squad rating high in competition. Forensics is a test more of the individual and takes much time and effort.

FCA Largest In Kansas FCA this year achieved to honor that previously had been restricted to schools with large enrollments and huge athletic organizations. Fredonia High School initiated 75 members into its FCA huddl e, to produce the largest huddle in the state of Kansas. A goodly por- tion of the newest members are girls, as this was the first year to allow girls in the previously all-male organization. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a national high school organization, formed to help students learn more about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Em- phasis is placed on athletes in order to expand the ado- lescents' feelings of team work and loyalty. In Fredonia, the FCA sponsors a great number of programs aimed at the high school students. In the Homecoming celebration, the FCA dunking stand was a popular attraction to the younger set. The money earned at Homecoming is used to spend on sending members to a National FCA Conference in Estes Park, Colorado, The fellowship also sponsors the annual Thanksgiving assembly. 1,3 FCA dunking stand at Homecoming, 2.3 Bible study sponsored by FCA at Coach Beal's home Left to Right- Betty Bambick, Bob Shoaf, Allen Gil- strap, John Beal, Eldon Wire, Barry IVlellen, Coach Beal, Patty Bambick and Lori Fitzmorris. 3.1 FCA officers and sponsors - Left to Right - Nlr.
