The Lyman High School Speech Team participated in their first meet of the 1987 season. Because of a conflict with the drama team, the speech team had a late start. Many of the same students were involved in both activities. Nonetheless, preparation after school, in the mornings and on the way to meets helped students become ready to perform. Members of the team prepared their selected pieces in poetry interpretation, dramatic interpretation and original oratory. Other team members competed in extemporaneous speaking. Junior Jon Jensen used a cutting from John Brown's Body,' and a passage from The Elephant Man. Jensen ranked high in all meets and placed third in both poetry and dramatic interpretation at the state meet in Casper. Members of the speech team had several exciting experiences. Some were funnyg others were more traumatic. The team was snowed in at the Laramief University of Wyoming meet and had to stay an extra day. During the state meet in Casper, snows created traffic problems which included the school van being stuck in the unplowed parking lot before the second round of the meet. Jensen and Advisor Relta Cox were frightened on a late-night trip home from the District NFL meet when their vehicle struck black ice and spun out of control. f'It's a good thing I had my seat belt on, Jensen said. 'SI was asleep and then we were spinning over the road and off the side. Freshman Marcia Jones was scared speechless when a large white owl flew into her face while she was approaching her motel door in Laramie. Each student met new friends and had good things to say about the students involved in forensics. The students are very competitive, noted Freshmen Joe Brodine. Jones said she liked the guys, the hugs, and the laughs. Speech is a good way to meet new people and build your confidencef' said Senior Craig Johnson. The team took State ZA Sweepstakes for the second year in a row. One course used to train some members of the forensics team was drama class. As well as working on interpretation, the class of five began the semester learning about how to design and construct stage sets. This knowledge aided them in building sets for the spring musical Popeye, Later in the year, the students worked in conjunction with the Lyman Police Dept. to put on a safety program using puppets purchased by the police department for their safety presentations. Funeral Tea was one of the short plays also prepared by the drama class. State speech team.
