Forensics earn funds for Nationals
'The dream of CBC being able
tp go to Nationals when other
schools aren't going. . .has now
become an answered prayer. Since
the beginning, CBC has been a
school of hopes, dreams, answered
prayers, and miracles. It's exciting that the CBC speech team is
able to add one more special miracle to our witness to the world."
"Knowing that in the Christian
life we should always strive to
reach a higher mark and not just
be satisfied with reaching what we
have striven for, the speech team
is now praying for another miracle."
Don't they ever give up? It would
seem not. Having just two members on the forensics team in
September didn't deter them. (To
date, 25 people have competed for
CBC in speech tournaments.)
Neither did a lack of funds deter
them.
"At the beginning of the year,
at our first speech meeting, we
said, 'We'regoingtoGeorgeMason
University (location of national
competition).' The reason we knew
this was because God had sent us
Ron Nash, who had attended George
Mason the year before. Clinging
to that indication of God's will in
our lives, we chose to pray and
direct our efforts to attaining that
dream."
"And that's just what it was—a
dream. No one had qualified for
Nationals. The majority of the
members had never competed. We
almost didn't have a speech team
this year. We prayed that the Lord
would send us the right people,
those who desired to work."
Even with hard-working people,
last week only six competitors
could have gone to Fairfax, Virginia, with the available funds.
"There wasn't enough money." No
money had been set aside in the
school budget for the costs of sending the team to Nationals. Solution?
"The team members forfeited
their scholarships and the school
turned   scholarship money  into
cash.  It was a really big thing for
them to do!"
To the $2,000 from the school,
the forensics team added $700
raised from "AChristian's Imagination Should Fly Beyond The
Stars," bake sales, and individual
donations. Two team members will
pay their own ways. This total will
enable 10 members of our forensics team toattend the competition.
Thanks go to Pat McGrew for
"helping and encouraging" the
team in their efforts to raise the
sum. "Mr. McGrew wanted us to
go as much as we did."
"We have a ministry through
forensics. Our goal is to be jtfst
that; anything else is cream off
the top!" Curtis O'Brien serves
as chaplain and the group hopes
to learn five scripture verses
weekly before t n e i r departure
(April 18th). The team members
that will remain behind will minister to the departing members until
their departure. A team member
who is going to Virginia says,
"We're like missionaries."
"In the course of our witness one
person has been led to Christ and
the changes in all the other lives
can really only be speculated on
because ofthe smiles of friendship
we receive from our fellow competitors."
"Missionaries" include Mrs.
Hokett, Gary Cogill, Alma
Rhoades, Ron Nash, Bob Shipley,
Sherri Erkes, Carla Pudwill, Roy
Ronveaux, Dan Jones, and Jack
Bracy. Helping to prepare the
team (while they work out arrangements for classes and assignments
to be missed) are Joan Gibson and
Pari Rickard (working on a news
analysis file for exempt and impromptu), Angie Wahl (coaching
persuasive), Dave Auda, Tami
Young, Debbie Sims and Curtis
O'Brien are also helping to critique
oral interpretation and any other
events that need help/encouragement.
'The exciting thing about the
team is the love that is develop-

ing, evidenced in personal sacrifices of time and effort given to
really pull togethera great
team . . . One special thing about
love—when you allow yourself to
fully give it, it never dies. Love
goes from one person to the next,
just as God gives it to us. Christ's
love is reflected in us--it's exciting to know that CBC is reflecting."
The theme ofthe speech team's
best fund-raiser was "A Christian's Imagination Should Fly Beyond The Stars." 'That's just
what happened this year with our
speech team because we've allowed
our imaginations to "fly beyond
the stars." "We have a great big
God. . . We're out to change our
world."
The team is still trying to raise
money to help defray the cost to
those members who paid their own
ways. Ideas and contributions are
welcome--just let a member of
the team know. Oh, the special
miracle still left to happen? Since
they'll be in the neighborhood, the
team would like to drop in on our
President.
