We should always aim To win Tor ourselves and Tor The glory oT our alma maTerg buT, more imporTanT, Torensics should achieve excellence Tor more Than a selecT Tew. ParTicularly is iT my policy in home TournamenTs To give every member oT The squad an opporTuniTy To meeT sTrong compeTiTion. Thus does The inexperienced beginner develop inTo a clear Thinker anc eTTecTive speaker. Though buT Three TirsT place Trophies were added To The collecTion This year, Dr. McCall regards The year as successTul. STeady irnprovemenT has been shown, wiTh consisTenTly high ranking Tor al members oT The squad in each oT The six TournamenTs enTered This year. No less Than eleven second places were compiled by represenTaTives oT The Two insTiTuTions, wiTh a cor- respondingly high number oT Thirds. Forensic acTiviTy seems To be an opporTuniTy Tor more people Than have Taken advanTage oT iT. This year's record shows ThaT Those desirous OT learn- ing and willing To work can look Torward To going places and winning Things. T641
