Vanessa Shearwood (Statue of Liberty) is surrounded by some of the other cast members who helped make this presentation a big success. Thirteenth Region crown is ADtamont's consecutively, is her philosphy. She said the teachers know who the bright students are and they help her direct those students to the Forensic team, where she trains them. That is only one of her secrets to success. Another Barton secret, to a repeating championship program is community support. She has several of her former students come into the classes to be guest lecturers and judges during the year. Barton sakl if there was a debate case that needed to be throughly gone over Shelia Bird would be the one she would have come in to go through it Other community members with their own specialities that Barton uses as judges sometimes include Jim Phillips, Wade Jessen, Darla Miles, April and Vicky Munson, and many others. Barton said there are different talents that make for certain areas of competition. Brains are essential for Debate, thinking fast on ones feet is necessary for Impromptu, and good memory is a for' Oratory, a Region 13 Forensic Champs are Altamonts team for the thir- teenth time. The meet was held at Altamont earlier this month and had participates from Whitehorse, East Carbon, Duchesne, Tabiona and most of the Region 13 shcools, but no to the extent Altamont did. Altamont took every first place, except Legislative Forum, including a tie for first in Debate. r They easily outdistanced school, even all the other schools combined scores, to take the region crown. Dynasty Builder Donna Barton, the Speech and Drama teacher at Altamont, has developed quite a dynasty for her teams in region and state forensic competition, 13 and 12 titles respectively in her 20 years of teaching.

The standard style and the s new style. The subject in the standard style this year was Resolve: The Federal Government should provide employment for all employable US citizens in poverty. A debate team would come up with definitions of key words, like employable and poverty, then would develop a plan or two for cross-examinati- Lincoln-Dougla- Bide and the con side. The t research process developed in this type of activity is something students can gain few other places, Barton said. The Lincoln-Dougla- s topic was about a just social order ought to place the principles of equality above liberty.
