Speech ’ . Z world did I ever get involved in speech? This is a typical view of a speaker on a Saturday morning. Getting up at 5:00 m., spending two hours on a bus, com- peting all day, feelings of anxiety and fear and the long, horrible bus ride home (with Larry Cunningham and Chuck Wyatt wailing country songs from the back of the bus) is enough to make any participant question his or her sanity. This year, the speech club went to fourteen tournaments, including an overnight tournament in San Antonio. These helped better our speaking ability and to prepare us for district. Tammy Young, sophomore, stated, The tourna- ments really helped to prepare me for district even though I didn't win, any- thing. A Carrie Hays, senior, consented, Speech Club may be a lot of woWjMftit when you know you've done your best, or even placed, it becomes all worth- while.

Hard Work Earns Reward The year got off to a slow start for the Future Business Leaders of America. Members were needed and officers had to be elected. As soon as this was completed, FBLA members sold Pflugerville pennants and held bake sales to raise money. In December, the members took pre- sents to the Colonial Acres Nursing Home in Round Rock as a service pro- ject. FBLA took field trips in April to Texas Instruments and Interfirst Bank. At these businesses, the members observed how the companies functioned. After a year of hard work, FBLA mem- bers treated themselves to a trip to Six Flags with OEA members.
