Speech and Debate Competition Aides Student by Randy Udelman I enjoy working with high school students because they have enthusiasm and vitality, and they love to talk, said Paula Jean Still, the school forensic coach. Although this was Mrs. Still's first year as the coach, she had some experienceg she had substitut- ed for two years. Being on the forensic team develops skills such as organization, logic, and quick thinking. Forensic competition in- creases students communication skills, and will be an advantage in any future ca- reer, Mrs. Still said. I feel there's a great need for more ef- fective communication. Competing in speech and debate tournaments is an op- portunityfor students to test their ability, learn from others, and enjoy the satisfac- tion of winning. Theforensic coach, Mrs. Paula Jean Still, helped stu- dents to develop their speaking abilities. The team competed in areas such as extemporaneous speaking, and traditional as well as Lincoln-Douglass debate. i Senior Mary Hoppin practices for her upcoming Lin- coln-Douglass debate. Mary placed highly at each tournament for this type of debate. PHOTO BY s i E Junior Randy Udelman stresses a point during prac- tice for an upcoming Speech and Debate meet.

Intra-Murals asketball vailable To Everyone I . Q' at by Randy Udelman I really enjoy playing intramural basket- ballfor many reasons. It is afun game that anyone can play and have a good time. Un- like other sports which have tryouts, David Hartwell demonstrates the proper form and ball control as he attempts to score a basket. PHOTO BY CASELLA The Wl8'Ef1fff5-' ff0Hl POW!

Tom McCabe, SELLA coaches, and practices everyday after school, intramural basketball is run by the players themselves. It enables those who could never make another school team a chance to play a sport and get active in high school. It is also a great way to meet new friends and to get to know old ones again. A special thanks should go to Mr. George LeSatzfor his time in sponsoring intramu- ral basketball this year so kids can be more involved in school. - Deane Tonn - Wow, what a shot!
