Ten returning members and 33 no- vice debaters comprised a strong team. The many hours that were spent researching and building cases proved to be of value when South's team defeated difficult competition and was awarded a trophy and six individual medals. Winning teams included: Jeff Reh and Rick Lungstrum, 3rd at Junction cityg Wendy Gottberg and Duane Webber, 2nd at Eldoradog Kris Heck and Mike Bevan, 4th at Kansas Cityg Monne Andersen and Alisa Stanley, 4th at Moundridgeg Melanie Ander- sen and Kathy Roman, 5th at La- Crosseg Rick Lungstrum and Dan Diederich, 4th at Central. Coach Bob Cochrane was very pleased with the team's accomplish- ments and stated that it was the most successful season that our de- bate squad has ever had and it should provide an excellent base for future teams. if ' 'M' fMfM,.,, 2 1 l

Hard work, dedication, and enjoy- ment were all part of a winning For- ensics squad. Getting a head start on the season the team easily took the first place trophy in sweepstakes at Wichita and qualified many members for the State tournament in April. As the season progressed the tour- naments grew harder, however South continued winning by capturing lst place at Garden City, and a second place at Newton. Perhaps the most important and difficult tournament of the season was the Shawnee Mis- sion tournament. Twenty-eight 4-A and 5-A schools were represented at the tournament. South came home with a third place victory. The McPherson tournament gave South a heartbreaking 4th place, missing the third place sweepstakes by 4 points. The novice team represented South at two tournaments during the sea- son: Manhattan and Topeka High Schools. They placed high in their Forensics overall rankings. The district tournament, which was held at Central High School, pro- vided an opportunity for those who had not qualified for State to do so. This gave the team the power to send an almost full slate to State. The State tournament, which was held in Manhattan, gave the team all first and second place victories. In addition to participating in tournaments, South held its own In- vitational, hosting 12 area schools. Forensics night was presented April 7th, Members of the team who were going to State performed their selections for the public. A Forensics Honor Banquet was held on April 26th at the Cavalier Club. Miss Ri- shel then presented awards to stu- dents who had shown their dedica- tion throughout the season. A large team and the support of all the members allowed South to have another victorious Forensics season. forensics
