OUTSTANDING EVENTS FoRENs1Cs gg The Post High contestants in the District Forensics Meet made a very credible showing as our debaters, boys poetry reader Bill Norwood, and speller Grace Price won first places and the right to enter the Regional tournament. The debaters, Chickie Schrider and Bill Waldrop on the negative side, and Norma Brown and Beverly Brunelli on the affirmative side, with Marjorie Davis as an alternate, were victorious in the Regional contest. ln April they went to Charlottesville to participate in the State Forensics Meet. Here they encountered stiff competition, but their ability carried them through, and our affirmative side won the state Group IH debating contest, while our negative team was the first place negative team, and third in the state. It is a great honor to have these students as members of our school, and our congratulations to theml ORATORY Beverly Brunelli entered and won first place in the American Legion Oratorical Contest in this county. Beverly, one of many contestants, then went on to gain third place in the regional contest. SPORTS Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams won the right to play in the District basketball tournament by winning a majority of the games played against District opponents. The boys lost the first game of the tournament, but went on to defeat Occoquan and take third place in the District. The girls' team was victorious in the first contest of the tournament. The second game saw them lose the first-place position by only one point in a close and exciting contest. Beverly Brunelli was voted the most outstanding player in the girl's tournament, and she and Sue Powers were elected to the All-Star team. Warren Sprague was voted a member of the boy's All-Star team. A new sport was introduced successfully at Quantico this year. Six-man football proved popular at once, and the QPHS team although playing a small schedule, was victorious in all its contests. This Spring, a track team was formed at Quantico Post School. Many of the boys showed hidden skills, and they won events in the District meet and entered the Regional meet. Thus, two new sports were added in one year to the growing list of popular activities at Quantico Post High. Twenty-Four
