Speech Debate Team Speaking in a winning style by Kjersti Walker Characteristic of the Speech Debate Team is the bringing out of a personality one never knew existed in normally shy, quiet people. I ' ve seen butterflies emerge from their ca- coons, commented the Speech Debate advisor, Te- resa Jones. With the help of Cheri Et- tinger, the Speech Debate Team had brought out state competition winners as Ron Grishaber and Thanh Van Nguyen, who are co-cap- tains. The team ' s goal this year was to gain Saddleback a re- spectable status as a speech competitor and academic leader. Led by the captains, the team was able to meet these goals, and actively par- ticipate in many special events. Among these activities were an essay contest and luncheon at the Bonaven- ture Hotel, the Service Club contest, the Cal State Tour- nament, and the Bill of Rights contest. All can agree when Teresa Jones commented, They ' re a team to be proud of. V ft Speech Debate — Row 1: Mrs. Ettinger, T. Spearman, G. Orosco, L. Thigpen, L. Nguyen, M. Nguyen, T. Burkhart, T. V.
