Dragon club captures award Elves, orks, gnomes, and dwarfs were visible or at least imagined on the Lincoln High campus in the form of the new Dun- geons and Dragons. The club, which functioned under the name of Games CIub last year had 18 members who met regularly to play medi- evel games. The game itself was a fantasy which takes medieval personalities on amazing journeys through dark passageways and dank dun- geons, meeting monster, dragons, or crea- tures with magical powers. It mostly relied on luck but took a large amount of skill and imagination. The players used dice to deter- mine their characters' personality, the extent of wisdom, consitution, strength, intelli- gence, dexterity and charisma. Advisor Jim Ponder, along with 300,000 other people across the nation, became fascinated with the game after play- ing it only once. Every week a presiding officer is elected to avoid having one person dominate the club, said member Howard Cohen. During Spirit Day, Dungeons and Dra- gons sponsored the winning booth where they sold rats on a stick and insults r 1,,t...a-K, ,,.,t. K? YU. t. ...ft Q ' :- ' 'f' -, rpm aw 2 rv at swf . . .

Speech team has outstanding year Sixty-two members of the speech team comp- peted regularly throughout California during the school year. Members competed on a league level in the Yosemite Forensic League. We are the dominant varsity team in the league, said speech team president Stuart Gaffney. Lin- coln won all eight tournaments on the varsity level. Novice teams competed at the tour- naments in the novice division. The novice teams really improved during the year and show that we will be strong in the future, said assistant speech coach Jane Dominick. The speech team competed on the state level. They traveled to invitational tournaments in San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Redlands. Through our success at these tournaments, our team earned the respect of the states' top teams, said Gaffney. To raise money for their travels the speech team had a 65 hour talk-a-thon, which earned Sl,500. The speech team used Rocky Horror as their theme for Spirit Days. They performed mock marriages and performed the Time Warp. Speech seems to be a growing activity at Lincoln, and this year's team was the best ever. lVly experiences from four years of speech will always stay with me, said Steve Yecies. dx Speech Team ,xg
