Author Topic: Who here was on the debate team in high school or college? Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-18-2007 12:58 PM                     Just curious, because I am starting to have my bets in looking over some of these discussions.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-18-2007 01:37 PM                        My high school had a debate team, but I didn't like the idea of its existence so I let them know. The high school no longer has a debate team.  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.

I'd be glad to argue for the de-existence of Joe anytime. Can we do a poll?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-18-2007 04:01 PM                     Not me. Jeb Stuart...? Is that the Jeb on Green Acres?  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-18-2007 04:27 PM                     I dont know about the debate team, but its easy to figure out the 2 or 3 guys who went to Calculus camp during the summer instead of the beach.  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-18-2007 09:03 PM                     Mark passed (by) Calculus 7th grade...whos camp was much more fun than the beach. I wasn't on the debate team...way too busy with other activities...basketball, live-theatre, photography (editor of the school paper/yearbook in JrHS)...and then showing movies which lead to a career.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 07-19-2007 10:10 AM                        For a semester in high school, I think it was my sophomore year. It helped a lot with my public speaking, I was so shy back in the day.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-19-2007 12:36 PM                     Steve... I was also on the yearbook... both Jr hi and H.S. but as photographer. I was able to attend some functions that students could not go to because of that... interesting sometimes to know what the teachers planning ahead of time. We had a much sexier editor than your yearbook though she was a cutie and many years later as a circuit court judge let me out of a speeding ticket... she winked at me as I left the stand! The movie thing also started for me when I was a sophmore... when I worked at the Oceana Beach Club in Pentwater, MI., At night I rowed across Pentwater Lake and was trained at the theater to run 35mm, pair of Standards. I then subbed for their projectionist when he needed time off as he was working there 7 days a week. So in a sense I guess I did relief duty then. Ahh, the good ole days...

It helped a great deal that I had a darkroom and could attend a funciton, develop the negs...select what was needed for the paper and come to class the next day with the picture(s) needed. Back then...there was another step...you had to send them out for half-toning so they could be placed on the layout. My HS could do the halftoning in-house...not so in the JrHS...about all they had was a darkroom and a really good Bessler enlarger...that was used for photography classes so one couldn't count on it for the paper.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-20-2007 11:18 AM                     Yea, It looks like we pretty much did the same thing... I did all the darkroom stuff at home though... no darkroom at H.S. till I was a Junior and I just kept using my own d.r. anyway. My dad taught me the basics back when he ran the darkroom when he was a local cop.... I think I was about 7 then and it was all 4X5 b&w!! Gruesome photos for the most part.... No Safety Glass back then in Autos .  |  IP: Logged R.
