The stu- dents have participated in a variety of activities: the cooking and eating of Paella , a Spanish fish dish, trips to the Huntington Cinema to see movies about Spanish life and tutoring other students in Spanish. The club has done its best to bring the Spanish world a little closer to home. Said one member, What the Spanish Club does is bring different kids together to share a com- mon interest in a foreign culture.

Wlmwq-fuunlsl1 Ls.. HAVE YOU SEEN THE LATEST GALLOP POLL? Delighted with the news that Pat Robertson is the front-runner is Dan Kessler. Laughing at the prospect is Christy Wells. WORKING HARD: Or hardly working, is Sean Robinson as he prepares for an ex- temp speech. CONTROLLED ENTHUSIASM: Claiming her trophy at the Richard Lesser Memorial Tournament is Elizabeth Berko. AND THE WINNERS ARE: The speech team returns from a long day of competition. I v Forensics I 'kwa A. 5 in The Speech and Debate Team: it's not just a club, it's a way of life. The tireless efforts of the debate team are rewarded by the ever amus- ing wit of our fearless leader, Mr. Liebl, master of the bread jokes . lt's the kind of wit that only a debater can appreciate, if even that. Armed with Lieblisms, the team tackles resolutions such as: Live free or die, The speech team is coached by Ms. Decker, a.k.a Mother Tyrant . Under her direction, Zelda , Cyrano , and a host of oth- er characters parody Pyramus with a sob. Each Saturday, we meet at 7:00 AM, grab our coffee and bagels fbut no dairy productsj and depart. Upon ar- rival the efficient competitors bury themselves in a pile of tape, scissors, and paper wishing they had done all of this last night like everyone else. The rest wait and socialize. Eventually we all go our separate ways. Some to taste victory, others defeat. The first round is always the same Matt and Brett cartwheel back to our table. Amy, sulks, sure she was de- stroyed . Steven Lustig is his normal, hyper-active self. Aileen Lee, affection- ately called the mutilator , has just calculated that she has placed last in the tournament. The cry of I need to hear some Bread! can only an- nounce the arrival of Biff Berko, while foreign languages and dialects can only indicate Vicki Wiseblatt is near. We never see Dan, he's too busy trying to to pick up all the Sacred Heart girls. As the day draws to a close ffour hours behind schedulej a hush falls over the room. It was only a false alarm. That feeble attempt at humor may not be funny the first ten times, but after that, it kind of grows on you. Amid kisses and congratulations we make our way to the bus, where the coaches are invariably trying to talk the driver into leaving without them. As we scramble aboard the bus and re- ceive our ballots Mommy Judge! and I was slimed! are among the comments heard, along with Lustig! I'm going to break that leg of yours. The day is brought to a close with the team heading for Cathay's or Taco Bell. Any way you look at it...the speech and debate team will look at it another way. But in the words of one member, lt's warped...but we love it, and we wouldn't give it up for the world! 'editors note:We would have men- tioned Sean Robinson, but he doesn't deserve it.

Throughout the year, members partici- pate in and organize such events as the Walk-a-thon, daffodil sales,and the campaign for the Great American Smoke-out. The most rewarding of ac- tivities are the traditional visits to hos- pitals and nursing homes during the holiday season. With the help of presi- dent Wendi Flubenfeld and the other dedicated members, the club enjoyed a stupendous year. PAL, organized by Dr. Pavi, pro- vides friendship for young students. It is like the Big Brothers!Sisters pro- gram. Once or twice a week, a friend will go to one of the elementary schools to meet with a young friend. The pals might go to lunch, baseball games, the mall - anything of mutual interest. The relationship is strictly pri- vateg the two often share birthdays, holidays, and other important celebra- tions. lt gives students a chance to make a difference in a young person's life. v Mickey Mouse!
