Dear Forensic Director,

The Glencoe Speech Squad cordially invites your team to the Crimson Tide Tournament on Saturday, January 17th . Individual events, Student Congress, and four types of debate will be offered: LD Value, LD Policy, Public Forum, and Public Debate.

Public Debates will be based upon Current Events.

L.D. V. and Public Forum will use the JANUARY TOPICS.
