Team wins league Thirteen members compete at state festival Speech at Troy during the forensics season was competitive with 29 members competing in 7 meets. Also, 13 people competed in 11 events at the state festival, receiv- ing 6 II's, four I's, and one III. The season began at the Jackson Heights Invita- tional, where Troy placed fifth out of 16 schools. Next was the league meet at Wathena. The team won, and nine people qualified for state in seven events. Troy placed in the top six at the last three invi- tational meets. The Tro- jans were competing against larger schools at almost all of the meets. The most popular events for competition were prose and poetry readings, but more stu- dents medaled with speeches and impro- vised duet acting. Regionals was at Sum- ner Academy in Kansas City. Eighteen Trojans were entered in sixteen events. Only one first- division rating was giv- en to Troy, Denise Mill- er in poetry. State was again at John- son County Communi- ty College. Thirteen people competed in 11 events. Four first-divi- sion ratings and medals were awarded to Julie Goss, informative; Mi- chele Rooney, oration; Shelbe Theis, poetry; and Theresa Wood, ora- tion. I had a lot of fun this year in speech, com- mented Chris Bond who received a II at state. Speech was fun this year, said Scott Reder, because I did better than I ever have before, and Jeff and I qualified for state. MIKE Goss and Chad Swa- vey choose an IDA topic at a speech meet.
