The Pros and Con of Debate Have you really wanted to get into an argument. but not wanted to go as far as fist fighting? Ask the Debate Team about this - they researched and trained all year for an organized argument. This year's subject was the National Health Care Policy. The team members spent many hours researching this topic. All six debates were in the second halfofthe year and the city-wide debate was in April. With Mr. Ramsden advising the team. the debaters were prepared to really battle it out. A I Qi l z i ll il it sl 'i E l 5 5 P 1 i Debate Team - tFirst Rowy K. Case. D. Walker, C.

This body of students is given the responsibility of aiding in regulating club activities. The council is made up of representatives ofeach club and student organization. Meetings, which are held for consensus ol' club conflicts. 9 K monthly, are spent deciding the calendar events and dis- cussing the council's event, the Donkey Basketball game. The money from the basketball game was to help meet Plaza's needs.

By wearing Spirit Club shirts, they lifted Plaza fans' spirits. So, the girls not only had pep, but spirit also. l Rolling Along with the Surfing ll, i i i - A A .l l T urling and Skateboarding Club - fFirSI ROWJJ. Miller, B. Kanz, M. Evans, P. Craft, W .
