SPEECH Front Row: Helen McCarron, Scott Elder, James Corden, Fred Springbom, Fred Meyer Second Rowj Robert Bean, Mr, Beauchamp, David Barringer Marine High must be blessed with the gift of gab , for there have been few speech contests in our district that have not found Marine High a fighting contestant. Our representatives were not content to merely participate, but they also walked away almost every time with a sizeable portion of the bacon, A trip through our halls and library would amply prove that in speech activities. Marine High has always rated high. In the Michigan High School Forensic League contests this year. Marine High won three of her four debates winning from Capac. St. Clair Shores, and Romeo, and losing one to Bloomfield Hills. The question was Resolved that the power of the Federal Government should be decreased.
