Speech Team At Salem High State's Best PimMi E&ecoirds On the basis of accomplish ments this school year Salem High School speech team may well be called the best in Oregon. 1 Hard coaching on the part of Miss Amanda Anderson and hard work on the part of the class has given it its best competitive sea son on record. Last month, for the fourth year, the team talked off with the highly-prized state debate championship. In addition the team swept top honors in the three Oregon state wide invitational speech tourna ments held at Willamette and Pacific universities and Lanfield College. A second honor came to the team at the Oregon High School's Speech League tournament last month in Eugene when Paul Ward, top debater on the Salem squad, won the state title in hu morous reading for the third con secutive year. Incidentally this year's win marked the eighth state debate championship team Miss Ander son has coached in the past lr j years. In the seven years she has i been with Salem High School her j charges have gone forth noisily into verbal battles over the state ' and have returned with the gilded i bacon in the form of a shelf-full of handsome trophies. "Of course," she says, "win ning debate championships is not everything. What is just as im portant is giving debate class stu dents the poise and confidence they need even if they never win a contest. However, students who j work the hardest at their debate j work naturally perform better in i competition." j To earn the right to ent the state talkoffs the Salem team won the district championship by nab- i bing six of 16 first and second place awards. Last year's team won 10. Miss Anderson is keeping her : fingers crossed about the team's j chances next year. This year's ; three top members, Paul Ward, j Ray Cook and Robert Riggs, are graduating seniors. These three were teamed for the state debate championship. However, championship per- j formance has been demonstrated , this year by Louise Owens and ) George Matter, both juniors, and Lucian (Mac) Baker, sophomore. , Ward's best efforts are in ex temporaneous and interpretative speaking. In contests this year he i has won five first-place trophies, j six, second and two third. Cook took four first -place prizes, three second and two third. In addition he won a state wide American Legion oratorical i contest and placed second in the regional competition. Ward dit toed last year. Riggs this year won five first j place nods and one second. Miss ' Owen won place place in wom en's interpretation and serious declamation divisions at two tour- ', naments. Miss Anderson does not expect of-state competition this year. Last year the group entered the national forensic league contest in San Francisco, Calif. In 1946 a Salem High team, composed of Thomas Bartlett, now a Rhodes Scholar, and Cornelius Bateson Jr., won first place in debate in a contest of 11 western state champions. The championship Salem High School speech team, and its coach, Miss Amanda Anderson, will be guests at the annual Toastmis-tress-Toastmaster testimonal din- j ner tonight at the Senator Hotel, i The 6:30 o'clock banquet will j be in the Capitol Room.
