Working with a new speech coach this year, the National Forensic League has main- tained the good record it built up over past years. Although there were many inexperi- enced first-year members, there were also seasoned vet- erans to help them along. Preparing for speech tour- naments involves many tasks for N.F.L. members. Endless hours of research and memor- ization are part of the prep- aration for the Saturday tour- naments. Last summer two members of the debate team spent two weeks at a work- shop at Ohio University. Participating in speech con- tests was not the only activity of the members of N.F.L. Sev- eral dances were sponsored by this club, and social activi- ties were planned for mem- bers. Welcoming speech students from all over north-l eastern Ohio, Jim Bruce, president of N.F.L., con- ducts the opening ceremonies prior to a speech, contest held here at Wadsworth. N.F.L.
