The debate team was fairly successful this year, establishing a 14 and 6 win loss record in the Southern Thumb Debate League. That record was good for a fourth place finish. The varsity team, seated in the above picture are, Phillis LeTarte, Michele Wendling, Coach Orlich, Anne Falecki, and Jim Chism.

The Debate program has been steadily building. In addition to an improved league record, they went to District competition for the first time. Memphis was represented by affirmative speakers Jim Chism and Penny Moran, and negative speakers Michele Wendling and Phillis LeTarte. Jim Chism was second in total speaker points in district competition, which made him eligible for the John S. Knight Free Press Scholarship Contest. Michele Wendling received a trophy for finishing third in the speaker points average ratings for league competition. Uebate Jflaslfback 1926 . . .
