The proud champions display their plaques after winning the Ohio State Tournament. It was a cold and snowy day in Youngstown,Ohio, but winning the Ohio State Tournament brought instant sunshine to the hearts of the Cedarville College forensics team. All the hours of researching, writing, and practicing speeches and literature programs were suddenly rewarded. While we had been the top college in Ohio for several years, we had never beaten the major universities in the state. But on February 24, the combined totals of the novice tournament and the varsity tournament put us in the number one spot, beating out the closest competitor by 175 points! The victory was led through the efforts of Jeff Joiner,state champion in persuasive and informative speaking; Gary Clemmer, state champion in after dinner speaking for the second year in a row;and David Henry in epideictic speaking. While Jeff and Gary were varsity team members, David took the state championship Forensics as a novice. Novice state championships were won by David Henry in prose and epideictic speaking and Jodi Culp in persuasive and informative. It is important to note that each of the team members played a role in this victory.* We praise God for the chance to represent our Lord and our college in the area of inter-collegiate speech competition. — Dr. David Robey First Row: HoIlee Stover, Anna Maxon, Chandra Mann, Johanna Wheeler Second Row: Brent Apperson, Wendy Widder, Beth Hofmann, Jennifer LibbY, Gary Clemmer Third Row:Priscilla Brown,Jeff Joiner, Carrie Quinn, Lori Lindner, David Henry, David Crandall, Coach David Robey Fourth Row: Raul MosleY, Alicia Diller, Jonathan Montgomery,Jodi Culp, Mark Vroegop Looking deceptively serene,Jeff Joiner and Gary Clemmer catch up on nap time in the van while Jodi Culp gets some reading done.
