Students went without any preparation. All they took with them was an extempt file which con- tained material they thought they needed. Students drew a question that was related to a foreign or domestic affair. They had thirty minutes to make a case for or against their subject. No text or notes of any kind were used during speeches, there- fore they had to be memorized for seven minutes. rilling lt ln. Senior Juan Suiircf practices his in- terpretation lor speech.

Drama was mainly comprised of skits and plays performed by many students whereas speech was cuttings from plays done by one person portraying all of the characters. ' SBeing an entertainer on stage and performing for people has to be the biggest thrill l've ever had, said senior Allen Morrison. Other than the acting assignments Mrs. Jana Sherrell gave, drama students visited a senior citizen's home and had a haunted house to raise funds for their productions. rama.

An interpreta- tion consisted of cuttings from a play in which students performed as duets or soloists. Once a play was found, it had to be cut and memorized, after which voices were added.

For debate and mock trial students, however, the only formula for success became know- ing both formulas for solv- ing a problem. At competitions, an in- dividual debator had to debate both the advocation and negation of a resolu- tion. Argued issues in- cluded such topics as world hunger and civil rights. Consolidating all evidence and testimony into a case became the toughest pan about debate. With the introduction of a new resolution, sponsor Mr. Brit McCabe presented thick volumes of evidence and testimony. eady For Action. Junior Bruce Eady opens his briefcase in preparation for the mock trial against Westem Heights High School. The trial was held in Nomian. 3 8 DebcJtelMock Tricil Organizations Drawing from this required reading, each individual had to come up with his own case to use at contests. Named by Mr. McCabe as the best debator he's ever had, senior Mike Githens took fifth place in the Great Midwest Debate Tournament at Central State University. I like to debate because you can look at both sides of an issue and make a reasonable decisiong I also like to argue, he said. Mike became one of only four Oklahoma high school students who did well enough at the district toumament to qualify for the national tournament. According to the senior, his success at district was due to a new attitude. In district, I wasn't looking to win, I was look- ing to beat other people and prevent them from win- ning, he said. Mock Trial participants spent three to four hours every night preparing for competition. Literature related to the case was in- troduced in February. The case involved a fictitious custody dispute between a widowed husband and his in-laws for the husband's daughter. A defendant's team and a plaintiff team had to be formed. After some revisions, the trial was run through in practice. The actual trial against other schools took place in Norman, with Moore plac- ing fourth. ,al W tl? Wagga,
