From the results of this year's competition it is possible to conclude that: Robes pierre doesn't have the right idea; that a great potential is a heavy burden; the carrot is more effective than the stick; that "Australian made" is the answer, and the dole cheque is better than a lousy job. We also discovered the answer to a whole host of other controversial and exciting statements. Last but not least, many thanks must be extended to Mrs Basford, Ms Bolton, Ms Hennessey, Mrs Sanderson and MTS SIGffens. They were behind the scenes - fearless, brave and courageous staff who coached and supported this year's teams. Congratulations to all girls who debated in the 1993 Apex Debatino Season. Best of luck to next year's teams and captain for another exciting and rewarding year Palm cards and Concise Oxford Dictionaries - we salute you! Manon Louise Woodhead
