This year’s Forensics team, as op- posetd to last year’s, was off to a great start. Although not immetdiately victorious, the team quickly took to victory with a seconcJ place win at Port Byron and a close third at Bishop Kearney.
From Oral Interpretation to Original Oratory, the team dominated most of the categories, such as Keith Battag­ lia’s second place win in Oral Interp and Tom Young’s third place win in
Dramatic Interp at Bishop Kearney. 34
At our home tournament Stuart LaR- ose took second in Original Oratory, Lewis Kapeli first in Extemp with John Hughes not far behind in third. Newcomers Paul Barnaba, who al­ ways seemed to make finals, and Doug Whitehead show great prom­ ise for future tournaments.
This Year’s team traveled far and wide to communicate to the rest of the world. Snowy trips to Rochester and Albany made jaunts to the “ city” of Port Byron seem short. However,
hopes were high for those who quali­ fied for National Competition held ap­ proximately 1,000 miles away in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Enduring long hours with “ nit pick­ er” coach Brendan Charlebois ac­ tually proved effective, for this year’s team won one tournament after the other. CBA’s ’85 Forensic team has taken its rightful place in the NCFL.
