Debate season starts by Lisa Stachon The debate team, along with Contest Speakers,is accepting members with an interest in drama and oratory competition. Contest Speakers is more concerned with drama and style of speaking. Its sponser is Mr. Vincent Pinelli. Eleven events are included in Contest Speakers, one being oral interpretation while others are presented under various other classifications. The debate team's format, in comparison, is structured in only two ways, on the one- or two-person format. In the one-person format, debate is presented around one tournament issue, this year's issue being "the sale of arms." In the two-person debate, one topic is researched and debated for one time only. The debate team's activities run from November to April, but Mr. Lavelle, the sponser, states that the preparation for debates, is more to the individual. Coaching is available' during all studies. Mr. Lavelle finds many rewards in becoming active in the debate process, among them are better speaking ability in class, quick, logical criticism and better preparation for college. "Many of our students go on to law school," he states, "and the debate process is similar to the courtroom situation, both involving crossexamination and rapid analysis." But a student oiily has to have an interest in current affairs and in drama. Students having ambitions in these directions, or just interested in the experience diould check out these clubs. They offer practical skills and the opportunity to polish them.
