Among our medalists were Tom McGuire, Tim Patterson, Frank Irving, and Carol Larson. Two weeks later, Cleveland made it a triple sweep for the semester by again capturing the Grand Sweep- stakes trophy at the first Varsity tournament held at Palos Verdes High. Four Cavaliers received medals at this tournament: Jean Arbogast, Jana Christianson, Jody Diamond, and Sue Fouse. Nine other Cleveland contestants were awarded Certificates of Superiority Attempting to repeat this triumph again in the spring, Cleveland found its plans foiled twice by Birm- ingham. At both the Novice and the Varsity tourna- ments Cleveland placed second behind Birmingham losing by only one point each time. ln February, the Cavaliers traveled to San Fernando High for the spring Novice where four speakers received medals: Alice Waznis for oratorical interpretation, Gail Randall for oratorical analysis, Sherry Chadwick for program reading, and Tim Patterson for original ora- tory.

Again it was only one point which defeated Cleve- land's Cavaliers at the spring Varsity tournament at Cleveland. Cleveland once again captured the Interpre- tive Sweepstakes trophy, a feat which it has accom- plished at every single tournament attended in the past four semesters. Individually, five Cavaliers received gold medals: Carol Christie, Jana Christianson, and Karen McComiskey for dramatic interpretation: Sue Miller for oratorical interpretation: and Don Stark for expository speaking. P Finally in April, the Cavaliers qualified three stu- dents to the State tournament held during May in Stockton.

Klindt There was only one word to describe Cleveland's Speech and Debate team as it finished the 1969-1970 school year-winning! The Cavalier forensic squad traveled from tournament to tournament, picking up awards wherever they went. Individually, and as a team, the Cavaliers were the ones to beat. The first tournament of the year saw the Cavaliers traveling to South Torrance High where, in statewide competition, they placed finalists in three events: Carol Christy, in dramatic interpretation, Sue Miller in oratorical interpretation, and Jim Cameron in impromptu speaking. A week later, the semester got off to a great start at the fall Novice tournament held at Cleveland. The Cavaliers won three out of four sweepstakes trophies in inter- pretive events, original events, and overall sweepstakes. Additionally, the team placed second in debate behind Birmingham but ahead of Notre Dame, Taft, and Granada Hills. Individually, seven bronze medals were won by Cleveland students. Anne Klindt received a double honor: a medal for debate and one for impromptu speaking.
