Speakers Perform Throughout Year Despite a year of unpredictable weather, a flu epidemic, and a two-hour delay on the trip home from state speech contest because of a flat tire, the 22 members of the forensics team showed their true colors as they excelled in six contests this year. The forensics year consisted of four regular contests, the regional contest, and the state contest. The qualifying requirements for the State festival were a I rating and a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place medal at any medal meet or a I rating at regionals. Nine students and the one-act play cast and crew qualified in five events. The team was coached by Mrs. Martha-Jean Rockey. 18 Activities

Tradition Continued “Last Chance” was the theme for the junior-senior prom, April 24, 1982. The banquet was at the American Legion Hall, at 6:30 P.M. The meal for the banquet was prepared by the junior class mothers, and served by sophomores selected by the junior class. Those chosen were Greg Ashworth, Jill Jarrett, Laurie Klaus, John Michael Marriott, Kenny Neumann, Laralee Sandy, Ronnie Shelton, and Julia Simpson. Everyone was full of laughter when the speaker, Mr. Donald Harter, told jokes about the junior and senior classes. “The Deans” provided the music for the dance. It was in the old gym after the banquet. Above right: Mr. Harter speaks to the juniors and seniors at the banquet. Above: Here are the sophomores chosen to serve at the ban- quet.
