STUDE T EXPRESSIO SHOW CREATIVE WRITI G A D SPEECH Tape recording and chalk art may not sound much like the activities of a creative writing class, but that is what Mrs. Faye Leeis classes did. The chalk posters, done to music, preceded poetry writing. The stu- dents also recorded some of their poems on tape to suitable background music. The creative writing class was revived this year, after being abandoned years ago. Panel discussions, impromptu speeches, and oralions are only a part of the many classes of Mrs. White and lVlr. Westphal. Not only did the students in these classes learn to speak before people with confidence and to think on their feet, but they also learned to listen to other peopleis speeches and talks. Deborah Armstrong shows Mrs. Faye Lee, her Creative Writing teacher, some of the ideas that she has jotted down for further development in an impressionistic poem or short story. 106 Delores Sanchez, one of the students in Mrs. White's advanced speech class, delivers an original oralion to her class. Each oration is a piece of work done by the students that lasts from four to eight minutes.
