Silly Speech and Debate
Nervous laughter filled a room as members of the Speech and Debate team practiced for their upcoming events. On mondays and thursdays, the members meet in Mrs. Baize’s room before and after school to prepare and practice.

Speech and Debate will have a tournament on Friday Nov. 1 at Francis Howell North.Ann-
