Speak Up, Act Right Speech and debate teams faced many tough com- petitors to produce a challenging and successful year. The majority of the advanced speech students felt that the Parkway West and Chamanade tour- naments were the most challenging. What makes one tournament more dif- ficult than another? It is 'Qwhen you know you're going up against the best competition in the state, sophomore David Fielder said. Lee Ann Parrish and Melissa Roberts, both senior debaters, enjoyed speech and feel it was very rewarding because of the experience gained. Sports- manship was also learned, along with meeting many new people. Lee Ann also believed speech would benefit her in public speaking in college and could lead to different careers. Jack Tuckness, teacher and speech coach, said, Wfhis has been a very enjoyable year. I had a lot of great kids to work with. They were outstanding.

Different trokes According to Coach Horner Askins, drivers, education helped the stu- dent Nto learn the basic rules of the road. Coach Jim Hagan added that it helps to Mlearn to manipulate the car, such as, hand over hand steeringf' Drivers' education was a course that usually sophomores took, and it had to be passed to graduate. Often, insurance agencies can give a student a discount on their in- surance policy for taking and passing drivers' educa- tion with a 6 B'i or above average. Physical education was under a different program. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors scheduled for P.E. by choosing from ma- jor categories such as physical fitness, team sports, individualfdual sports, and outdoor living skills. Physical fitness class in- cludes circuit training, jog- ging, running, and calisthenics. Outdoor living skills consisted of backpacking and camping skills. Flying disc club was organized for those students who enjoyed and were interested in the sport of frisbee. The club, spon- sored by Ms. Cindy Miller, held meetings and played whenever weather permitted. Club members Beth Alexander and Ed Sieger commented, uWe tried to build up a new sport that takes a lot of skill and balance. Drivers' ed. instructor coach Jim Hagan feels that the simulator helps in learn- ing to manipulate a car. ,ax ff' ll6 X Drivers Ed., P.E., and Frisbee Club After seeing this stunt done on television coach Pearson's P.E.
