All of These were summed up wiTh Three simple leTTers - NFL. s Fundraising was a big parT of each depafe sTudenT's life, jusT as iT was The insTrucTors, Mr. Richard Rice, NaTional Forensic League sponsor. T'We began during The summer and conTinued To sell all Through The year, said Mr. Rice. NFL sold candy, cheese, baskeT- ball TickeTs, spiriT Towels, and even had a carnival. They also had a special projecf aT ChrisTmas. They sold real gold chains and braceleTs for The holidays. WhaT could They possibly do wiTh all The money They made? The answer was simple. Oak Park had The honor of hosTing The Nafional Speech and Debafe TournamenT. ThaT meanT needing money. LoT's of iT - over S5,000. come To a sTaTe once in a life Time and even more of a privilege for a school To hosT. There were sTudenTs from all over The counTry coming To Oak Park for This TournamenT. We were so exciTed To find ouT The Tournamenf was To be held in Kansas CiTy, buT we realized how much work iT would be. BuT l don'T Think iT boThered anyone, Mr. Rice said. DedicaTlon was noT only needed for planning The Tournamenf, ouT for each sTudenT who compeTed ThroughouT The year. Oak Park has made a name for iTself on The debaTe circuiT and This year was no excepTion. The squad always finished in The Top five of all schools aT TournamenTs.
