plans to return to New Zealand

The team succeeded in
receiving a second place trophy
in the senior division
sweepstakes, behind the winning
Centennial team by only a few
points. Ashland's debate team of
1958 was the last team to be as
successful as this year's team by
achieving a second place in
senior division sweepstakes.
Places, but no trophies
Winners in various events
included Jeff McCollum, second
in oratory, Cathy Riffe and
Alice Dale, second in oxford
debate, and Kris Keil and Kathy
Hill, third in oxford debate.
None of these winners packed
home trophies, as only first
place trophies were awarded at
the tournament.
Semifinalists included Jim
Work in oratory, Bruce Lorber
in humerous interpretation, and
Dave Galati in extemporaneous.
Subject to an omnipotent
iysltin of putfails -i!!:-d "in
breaks," Ahsland suffered a
shutout in the junior division at
the tournament.
A grand total of 22 debaters,
chaperoned by Lewis and his
wife left Ashland for Forest
Grove Thursday, Dec. 5, for the
two day tournament.
Words of wisdom
Reflecting on the team's
success at the tourney, coach
Lewis said: "The team did better
than I figured they would. The
tournament has a total of only
12 trophies and over 1,000
competitors going for them. Each
school puts their top
competition in each event, so it's
tough to place. We usually
consider Pacific as more of a
learning tournament than one
we win at."
The remaining tournaments
for Ashland this year include
Southern Oregon College in
Ashland, Linfield College in
McMinville, and possibly Lewis
and Clark College.
