Debate fF0f'67Z.S'Z'0.S'.' - ovices dominate debate, forensics teams Having many first-year novices on the debate and forensics teams did not limit their victories. Debate members competed during first semester while forensic com- petition was second semester. One of the outstanding victories was won by Senior Earl Sanders and junior Scott Banks. Both took third place at the North Invitational Debate Tournament. A win that made Debate Coachjim King extreme- ly proud was the victory won by first-year debaters Robyn Whitten andjennifer Sand- berg who went 3-2 at the East Advanced Tournament against more experienced op- ponents. The Northwest debate team consisted of 22 members. Sophomore Mia Shields was elected chairwoman of the debate team. Aside from entering debate touraments at other schools, the Northwest debaters hosted the Sixth Annual Grizzly Growl Debate Tournament in November. This gave the debaters experience in organizing and running a tournament King described debate as formal argumentation with specific rules and guidelines governing considerations for each party while allowing each person a reasonable opportunity to support and at- tack logic and reasoning. Forensic members won honors in their various competitions. Shawn Hoffman and Mia Shields won first place honors for their impromptu duet acting of Stick-up. Shields also won third place in original oration. Misty Solomon and Debbie Shaffer also won first place honors for their impromptu duet Baby Broiber. In the poetry competition, Shawndra Harding received second place honors with the reciting of G0a r Trombone and Dawn Hagen received third place in prose reciting Heller Skelter. Shields and Hoffman were the only two forensics students to place in the State Forensics competition. They received second place honors for impromp- tu duet acting. Forensics gave students the opportunity to orally interpret literature, use creative speaking and perform in the the area of dramatic arts. Some of the forms of foren- sics included reading poetry, performing skits and reading scenes from plays. -Missy Knollo QQBUPQ N f sig gt sa. it -1 -is i is Q S , up :gi . . . it A t fists , s..-. , -'R-rt . -- ffl it 1. 1-' ' ' gif' - p'...
