Miss Feris, Gary Parish, Frank Allen, and the Tau Kappa Alpha trophy--the embodiment of thirty-six years' work The Ultimate in Awards Mr. Reese proudly surveys the trophy. The Tau Kappa Alpha trophy, awarded for cumulative points garnered in national competi- tion, is the most coveted prize bestowed by the National Forensic League. In June, l965, Miss Feris and two of her top speech students, Gary Parish and Frank Allen, went to Cmaha and competed in the Nationals. Gary and Frank added seven rounds during the competition, bringing the total points accumulated by NCHS to 218. The giant sweepstakes trophy was their reward. A glance at this trophy reveals that the talents and efforts of many students, fused by Miss Feris' capable hands, were responsible for this addition to our showcase, Entrants in seventeen Na- tional Tournaments are listed. Among the names of students are found Ernest Wilkerson, Vincent Mulvaney, Tom Kidd, Jo Anne Blower Lamun, and Mike Hunter. This trophy is a fitting tribute to a grand lady and many of her students. lt adds to the scholastic heritage of NCHS. 20 I
