Coach Lance Haberly indi- cated he was “very pleased that Hanna won our district com- pletion in the Radio Commentary event. As a first- year competitor, Hanna showed quite a bit of versatility and ability in several events. “She was very close to mak- ing the semi-finals at the state tournament.” Anderson only needed two more points to advance. Anderson and fellow team members Katherine Dodson, Laura Johnson, Taryn Larson and Korina Shipstad participat- ed in various forensics tourna- ments around the state. They competed in events such as public forum debate, prose reading and radio com- mentary. Forensics is a combination of individual speaking events and three different debate for- mats. Students compete through- out the year and have a chance WORLD STUDIES PHOTO SUBMITTED BY ERIN ELLIS S COURTESY PHOTO Hanna Anderson, Katherine Dodson, Laura Johnson, Taryn Larson and Korina Shipstad of the Siuslaw High School forensics team during the spring to compete at the state and national levels in their respective events. Haberly said he was happy with the efforts the students put forth this year. iuslaw High School students in Erin Ellis’ World Studies class would like to thank Western Lane Community Foundation for awarding them a grant to purchase a new set of Student Atlases of the World. The previous set of atlases were several years old and had outdated information about global popu- lation patterns and political borders. The new class set has provided students an opportunity to now ana- lyze current, significant issues of the world’s cultural and physical geography and hone their critical think- ing skills required to meet the state’s geography stan- dards for high school. Above, Megan Miller works on a location activity with the new atlas.
