D About 2,000 students from all over Texas competed in the annual speech tournament sponsored by National For- ensic League (NFL) members. From the tournament, NFL members earned about $2,500. The money was used to help speech students travel to compete in other tournaments, explained Ms. Carolyn DeLecour, sponsor. Members attended about 15 tourna- ments during the year which required a great amount of dedication, said Ms. DeLecour, because tournament prepara- tion was so time consuming. Speech students who wanted to become a member of the league were required to earn 25 points. They earned points by attending tournaments, gain- ing additional points if they placed. They also had to be in the top half of their class academically, she said. In addition, those who e arned enough points were awarded letter jackets, con- cluded Ms. DeLecour. B s H 1 f 1 L {h. L Z M
