MONDAY - Debates, Awards, and the End
THE TOP TEN SPEAKERS IN THE TOURNAMENT
The final debates took place at 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM. There was strong competition as the undefeated teams were meeting each other. Even those teams who had not fared so well were giving it their all to scratch out another win.
The students were given the late afternoon off so that they could say goodbye to each other and enjoy the campus a bit without any work hanging over them.
At 7 PM the awards assembly was held. After filling out evaluation forms the team and speaker awards were presented. Three teams emerged with 4-0 records. Raya Harris was the top speaker. TYhe most important awards are the "hats" given out. Six hats were given to those thought to be the "most valuable members of the intellectual community," and not necessarily the debaters swho won awards. Faculty made short speeches about each student to receive this honor. After that it was back to the dorm for final goodbyes and long talks into the night with new friends they had met here at WDI.
