Debaters Formulate Arguments This past year the MHS Debate Team competed in the St. Joseph Forensic League which included the following schools: Ad- ams, Riley, LaSalle, St. Joseph, Marian, Howe Military, LaPorte, and Highland. The team also competed all over Northern Indi- ana. The goals for the Debate Team were to foster talents in speaking, thinking, research- ing, and formulating arguments. As reaching for these goals, the debaters met once a week after school. At their meetings they prepared themselves for upcoming debates outside of school. They also organized their material and practiced discussion and de- bate. A prerequisite for joining Debate was a love of speaking and a desire to learn how to get your arguments down on paper. Debate Coach Mrs. Ernst felt that Debate was un- like other extracurricular activities because it involved a different kind of challenge and was exciting to participate in. P. DeKever, R. Newland, T.
