American Forum The 1957-58 edition of the Austins is a revamped version of the great, trophy-hagging teams of the two pre- vious years. This was the team that won, among other tournaments, the Philadelphia Catholic title for two straight years. Despite the departure of every veteran, except Junior, Richard Gordy, the dehaters have managed to keep Bonner prestige high along the east coast, matching, in fact, last year's win-loss record. The log of 67 victories against 15 defeats in tournament com- petition, included first place in the early Camden and Red Bank tourneys, the second place trophy at St. ,Ioseph's College, third at Bonner, and creditable performances at N.Y.U., St. Peter's Col- lege, and Georgetown University. Growing stronger week hy week, the Bonnerites are now setting their sights on winning repeat victories at Passaic, the N.F.L., and the Philadelphia Cath- olic tournaments. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT - This is almost literally true of our debating team, which has made this phrase, standard pro- cedure---the touchstone of their success. Dick Cordy, far right, cross questions Jerry Melchiode as Frank Battaglia llefll and Dennis Suplee check their data during one of the many mock debates our dehaters enter to keep their technique sharp. gr'
