MHS Speech Team Victors Over Bucs
Another victory over rival Bellflower High School was
achieved, this time in the area of oratory. The Mayfair High Speech Team
won 6 out of 8 events in this contest to be the recipients of the Speech
Perpetual Trophy in the first annual "MHS-BHS Forensic
Tournament".
It was MHS all the way in debate with the topic
"Resolved that the United Nations should be significantly
strengthened". Bill Thurman and Barry Witt on one team and Jim Emett
and Carter Sims on another were victorious in both debates.
More trophies were won by four out of the six Mayfair
contestants in the individual events. Pam Yocam, with an original speech
on Love, won in Original Poetry. Impromptu was won by Marilee Mifflin with
the topic Equality. Vivian Reames won Oratorical Interp. with a speech on
Women's Rights. A humorous reading of Lady Godiva brought victory to
Sue Greene in Humorous Interpretation.
Nosed out by one point was Bill Blakenborough in Dramatic
Interpretation. Bellflower also won in Extemporaneous
Speaking.
