DEBATE IEE ll In our debating team's first year in the new school the Gonzaga debaters did not equal past records, they surpassed them. In every tournament that Gonzaga entered teams, there was at least one Prep team in the finals. In the Northeastern Washington Debate League, Gonzaga tied for first place with the impressive record of 15 wins and 5 losses. In the individual College Tournaments, Gonzaga's record was equally as impressive. At Marquette High School in Yakima, Gonzaga took 2nd place, with finalists in the in- dividual speaking contests. At Seattle University, Gonzaga, again, was ranked the second highest school in the tournament. At this tourney Delos Putz was a finalist in Extemporaneous Speaking, he also took 1st place at Marquette. But it was in the final tournament of the debating season that Prep gained its best tournament record. This was at the Gonzaga University High School Debate Tourna- ment. For at this tourney Prep took first place honors in four out of live categories she entered. Donn MR. BURNS, S. Coach place in Extemporaneous Speaking, and won a complete scholarship to Gonzaga University. But Prep's,, Z Herron, captured first place in Oratoryg jerry Swift, a senior, took first place in Impromptu Speaking, first record at the G.U. Tournament doesn't stop here, for also at this tourney, Delos Putz was a finalist in Extemporaneous Speaking, and he received Brst alternate on the Scholarship. In individual debates, Gon- zaga teams had records as good as five wins and only one loss. The G.U. Tournament was an extremely suc- cessful conclusion to a successful season. The. debaters that made up the teams that met with so much success this year were Delos Putz, john Leonard, Mike Smith, and Jerry Swift, all seniors and Donn Herron, a junior. Though these were the ones who received the actual acknowledgement credit must be given to the rest of the Debate Squad, for their assistance. Among these are Don Bergman, Bill Tanksley, Mike O'Neill, Pete Norrie, Bernie Saalfeld, Dan Murphy, Pat Shine, Dave Rothrock, Bob Byrne. Well founded is the opinion that next year's team will be as successful. First row: Dan Murphy, Don Bergman, Pat Shine, David Rothrock, Robert Byrne, Robert Lamp.
