,- What did you say? Courses improve speech Many different forms of communication are used throughout the day. De- bate, speech, and sign lan- guage are three different types of communication taught by Ms. Dale Woody and Mike Smith, While speech and debate dealt with voice communica- tions, those who have im- paired hearing or deafness communicate through the use of signs. Debate is a class in which information is gath- ered and used through out the year in contests. One subject is chosen and used as a topic in the debates during the entire year. In speech, one must be able to express themself on any type of material. In competition, one must memorize and recite a piece from memory. Sign language is a course designed to introduce hear- ing students to the lan- guage of signs. It enables students to communicate, through signs, with hear- ing impaired or deaf incli- viduals. Several types of sign language are taught, but in Oklahoma City and in surrounding cities, the one taught is Signing Exact English. . 'Y , p A.. .

A paper- back book drive was held all year in order to provide books for the Veterans hospital.
