Forensics is defined as the art and study of argumentation and formal debate, and it is a club that participating Newman Catholic students enjoy a lot. They are given the opportunity to be themselves while adding creativity to their performance pieces. Julie Buttzlaff joined forensics last year and is currently at work with her group to practice for the upcoming competition. She joined forensics because she gets to have a good time with her friends and it’s a fun and enjoyable club.

| 2010 Newman Catholic forensics team at State |
Last year the Forensics students had a great start, and the majority of them went on to state and won first place. Mrs. Kurtzweil was the forensics advisor last year and cannot be with us this season, but the new advisor, Mr. Fry, will help us reach the status of first place in state again. “This club is a more ‘on your own’ type of club; we do not do things like put up signs around the school, but it is there to have fun, kind of like a sport,” said Julie. The first Forensics competition was on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at D.C. Everest.
Wish the forensics team good luck as they prepare for district competition on March 12!
