The creative juices were flowing at Iola High School Saturday.

Scores of students from 15 area schools were judged on their speaking and acting abilities in the annual IHS Invitational Forensics Tournament.

Because host students are prohibited from competing, IHS students kept busy through the day by serving as time-keepers and organizers of the massive event.

Forensics — competitive speaking and acting — features a number of different disciplines in which the students can rehearse for weeks or months in advance, such as oral interpretation of prose, oral interpretation of poetry, informative speaking; and original oration, in which the speaker must give a persuasive speech about a certain topic.
