N.F.L Receives National Charter It took six years of diligent work, but the 1970-71 King NFL was finally awarded its National Forensic League Charter— a document which meant that King was a nationally recognized chapter. The charter was awarded to Mrs. Nancy DePuy and 42 members of the NFL during the Bellaire Speech Touniament where King placed 10th out of 100 schools from all over the nation. The charter listed the 12 students with the highest number of tournament points. The NFL started out the year by selling bumper stickers to earn money for tourna- ment expenses. They also sold coffee at the breakfast break. Also this year. King ' s name wae brought into the winner ' s circle with the NFL taking sweepstakes at the Miller Tournament. King also shone at the Robert E. Lee tournament taking first place in varsity boy ' s Cross-X debate.
