John Miday, S.J. is a member of the Ohio High School Speech and Debate coaches' hall of fame and was recently inducted posthumously into the National Forensic League coaches' hall of fame.  Father Welsh, S.J. and Father John Libens, S.J. were both debaters and supporters of policy debate and rhetoric and guided my stewardship throughout the years, men who modeled the living MAGIS.  And Father Frank Canfield, S.J. who knew every member of the policy debate teams and the hard work that goes into a successful season and program.
