What makes a contender? What activity offers stiff compe- tition, open discussion of impor- tant topics, out-of-state weekend tournaments, lodging at the Hyatt Regency, and a close comradery among participants? Speech and debate fits the ticket. Mauldin students competed in tournaments in Bronx, New York and the universities of Princeton, Auburn, Wake Forest, Harvard, Emory, and Northwestern. Maul- din High also hosted a state-wide two-day tournament the weekend of October 31 through November 1. I like participating in forensics aid Back.

Those who attended tourna- ments regularly became die-hard competitors. Mary Trull, an avid debater boasted, Debate is the only salvation in high school existance. Due to the surge of the speech program, a Speech III class was de- veloped to prepare students for competition. Given the awesome responsibility of continuing the speech program founded by Gladys Robertson, a former Mauldin teacher, Mr. Randy Roberts com- mented, I hope to see the speech program expand next year.

Throughout the centuries, lan- guages developed and expanded in hopes of creating a greater speak- ing public. Students realized the necessity of being able to read, write, and speak a language other than English. Foreign language classes grew in trying to keep up with student de- mand. Jeremy O'Dell, a freshman, said, Colleges want students to have at least two years of a foreign language. I don't want to be turned down because I only took one year of a language. Students showed their dedication to completing foreign language re- quirements by attending sunset Latin and German classes. Nine students stayed after school every- day to learn the language of Rome, while six German students gave up their afternoon freetime. Junior Pete Carver said, At first, I didn't like staying every after- noon but now, I'm used to it and enjoy the class. Teacher changes were visible in the Spanish department. Mrs. Marty Armstrong took a leave of absence to have her baby, creating a vacancy that several substitute teachers filled. Luckily, Mrs. Jane Cooper stayed in her position the whole year. Mr. Ray Wates, who also taught English, taught one of the French classes. His class helped to focus on the basics of the French language. Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman contin- ued to teach French to willing stu- dents. Junior Lynn Hazelwood advised students who were interested in a language to get involved with it early. jason Boan said, Avoid the pressure of having to pass a lan- guage class by starting early. That way, if you like it, you can continue taking it until you graduate. Britt Lunceford QW? Nasa iii?
