Forensics
The Forensics co-curricular will begin soon. “What is Forensics?” you ask. Well, it is not a contagious disease, nor a branch of medicine that establishes the medical facts in criminal law cases.

Forensics is the art of communicating with an audience; whether that is through interpretive reading, solo acting, story telling, play-acting, radio speaking, or delivering a speech. It’s loads of fun, competitive, and you’ll gain communication skills for life, as well as a ton of new friends.

The informational meeting for all newcomers to Forensics will be on Wed. Nov. 19th in Room 118 at 3:15. Learn about the 15 categories of competition in High School Forensics. So, no matter what grade you are in, if you are thinking of being a part of the Forensics Team, with its history of excellence, come to this informational meeting.

College representatives visiting next week are:

Veterans Day
When Francis Scott Key wrote the “Star Spangled Banner” almost 200 years ago, he called America, “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Those words are as true today as they were then.
Throughout this Nation’s history, America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coastguardsmen have bravely answered the call to defend our freedom, to aid our friends and allies, and to turn back aggressors.
We can never fully repay our debt of gratitude to the more than 650,000 American service members who died in battle or the 1.4 million who were wounded. We can, however, recognize and thank the 25 million veterans still living today.

Today is a day to honor all Veterans. Preble High School would like to honor our own:
· Mr. Al Pannier
· Mr. Matt Fellinger
· Mr. Mike Forrest
· Mr. Jim Rutkowski
· Mr. Scott Reeners
· Mr. David Quayle
· Mr. Russell Dern
· Mr. Bruce McLeod


Remember to thank these people for their service and thank those Veterans in your life today.
