Good Talkers

From Echoes, Feb. 28, 1961

Debate was an activity I shied (literally) away from.  Thinking and talking on my feet scared the $%# out of me.  To this day I get dry mouth just imagining it.  This quartet, (Pat Carlson, JoAnn Johnson, Judy Mulder, and Mary Hancuh), plus others (Janet Derner, Judy Fitzpatrick, Pat Reedy, and Karen Fischer have been mentioned in other issues of Echoes) put their money where there mouths were and qualified for membership in the then newly-formed chapter of the National Forensic League. I don't know if some of the group were declam participants or if they were all debaters.  Anyway, they earned my respect that's for sure!
