After a year of competitive forensic speech meets,
three non-veteran members of the new Forensics team
at Westview High School took their talents all the way
to Indianapolis for the Indiana High School Forensic
Association State Finals.
The novice 2010-2011 team (9, 10, 11th grade) had
only two veteran competitors. Most senior year members
dropped active competition due to the demands of jobs
and course loads. Despite those demands many of the
veteran senior competitors volunteered after school
to coach and tutor the 12 new members.
Juggling their time and skills between music
programs, sports and academics, the young team worked
hard developing their speaking and performance skills
to compete every Saturday with dozens of other more
experienced high school teams from across Indiana.
Forensics encompasses many disciplines and a wide
range of opportunities for a student’s self-expression to
blossom and grow. The events include formal debate,
current event discussions, reading, speaking and
dramatic competitions which pit a student’s individual
talents with novice as well as veteran competitors.
By the end of this season, the young Westview
team’s ten novice members worked hard and their
efforts paid off.
