earn to Speak . . DebaTe, declamaTion, oraTory, exTempcraneous speaking and reading --These are The various phases oT Torensics ThaT are oTTered in our ex- Tra-curricular program. Each gives one an op- porTuniTy To acquire poise, To Think quickly and clearly, and To express his ThoughTs well. AbouT one-hundred sTudenTs Took an acTive parT in The various speech acTiviTies This year. ln The Tall oT The year DirecTor Olson called TogeTher all who were inTeresTed in debaTe, and work was begun on The quesTion, Re- solved: ThaT The power oT The Tederal govern- menT should be increased. Cases were builT up by The aTTirmaTive and Torn down by The negaTive which only made each sTrive To Tind an invincible argument As conTesTs passed, more and more de- baTers were weeded ouT unTil The squad was narrowed down To eighT speakers. Mr. Olson pondered and aT lasT decided To send John Jaekel, Ralph BenneTT, Dan ElaherTy, and Bob RaTTray To The disTricT TournamenT. This proved To be a wise choice because The Team came Through and wenT To The secTional and Then To The sTaTe where They were vicTorious. ln rec- ogniTion oT Their superior speaking, They re- ceived a red and whiTe banner which now decoraTes The corridor. FiTTeen ouT oT eighTeen debaTes were won in order To geT ThaT worThy piece oT TelT. BuT This was noT The end oT a record sea- son. Bob RaTTray enTered exTemporaneous speaking and broughT home a cup Trom The LiTTle Ten, and in The sTaTe Tinals emerged wiTh TirsT honors, a gold medal. Mr. Olson's parT as coach was indeed an imporTanT one. He puT TorTh every eTForT To give The sTudenTs a chance To gain speaking experience. Top -- R. BenneTT, R. RaTTray, Coach Mr. Olson, J.
