Dear
Coach,
We invite you to the 37th
Annual High School Speech Tournament at Whitman College, nestled in the
Walla Walla valley and buttressed by the Blue
Mountains. The tournament will begin Thursday
early evening November 5th, for LD and Policy Debate. On Friday
morning, November 6, IE’s begin. On Saturday morning, November 7, Parli, Public Forum, and Student Congress begin. All events
finish Saturday, November 7 in the evening. The tournament features
outstanding competition. Last year, 48 schools attended the tournament. We are
excited to host you at this year’s tournament!
This year, we begin honoring
the person that began the tournament: Remy Wilcox. Remy was coach in the 1970s
and worked hard to make the tournament a symbol of excellence.
Remy Wilcox, Coach and Director of Forensics at
Whitman College, 1969-1980.
