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
