the Spotlight HIS YEAR Lincoln's Forensic Society offered two new clubs to students interested in the different types of speaking. The Debate Club, organized to develop an in- terest in public speaking and to help students better understand logical arguments, is coached by Miss Patricia Litsheim. The club, forming teams, competes against other schools in invita- tional debate tournaments. Declam, under the direction of Miss Beverly Lusty, is open to those interested in interpretive reading, extemporaneous reading, and declama- tive sections of speech. Winners of the school de- clamation contests go to the league, district, and state contests, where they are rated A, B, or C.

The spring play, under the direc- tion of Mr. George Kanzelberger, was a differ- ent type of production from those given in the past. For the first time in a Lincoln play, no scenery was used. The setting was left to the imagination of the audience. The stage manager, Howard Oestreich, cre- ated a setting for the characters with words, explaining the play to the audience as it pro- gressed. The production exemplified typical life in a town which, although imaginary, could be any town in the United States.
