DENMON Staff Writer More than 200 high school students from 10 schools in the Catholic Forensic League partici- pated in the Novice Varsity Wide Range Forensics Tournament hosted by Dallas School District Saturday, December 2, at the high school. Mike Naylor, head of the league, and Donna and Harry Trebilcox, Dallas School District forensics advisors, directed the program. The students took part in various categories including Lin- coln-Douglas Debate, Policy De- bate, Extemporaneous Speaking, Declamation, Oral Interpretation and Dramatic Interpretation of Literature. Students were assigned in groups of five or six in a category of their choice to certain class- rooms where they were on their performances with the exception of Lincoln-Douglas debating and Policy. These categories had only three or four to a group. All of the students had an opportunity to present their ma- terials in three rounds and overall winners in each category advanced to the semi-finals where they were judge by a panel of qualified foren- sics judges. The semi-finalists advanced to the finals and winners in each categories were awarded certifi- cates and trophies in a closing program in the auditorium. Heather Mead and Lincoln Douglas were the only Dallas students to make it as far as the semi-finals. Students from Bishop i Hoban and Scranton Central were the predominant winners. Schools who participated were Scranton Central, Scranton Prep, Bishop Hoban, Bishop McCaskey, Danville, Shikellamy, Nanticoke and Dallas. The next forensics tourna- ment will be held January 13 at Shikellamy and another will be Jan. 20 at Bloomsburg. At the present time, Dallas High School has 14 students in the various categories with some ninth grade students involved in the program. They practice an the average of four days weekly under the direction of advisors Harry and Donna Trebilcox. The local program was initi- ated three years ago by Candace Fike, a member of the Dallas High School faculty.
