Debate High Above Normal Standards Finishing off the year with four members qualifying to state com- petition, the debate squad has reason to be proud. At the beginning of the year, the squad wasn't quite sure how to react towards House Bill 72. The members normally go to 12- 15 tournaments through the year but this year they only went to eight. lf anything stood in our way, it was the state legislation hampering us, says Senior member Derek Drawhorn. UThe team has so much to be proud of, said Mrs. Paula Vin- zant, coach. This year the teams of Derek Drawhorn!Mark Mason and Doug Venverloh!Arthur Lim ad- vanced to state competition.
