Today's typical class may hear or see a famous actor reciting the classic which is being studied, or observe speaking techniques on closed circuit television instant replay. Journalism students may write for newspaper, radio or ad- vertising, or prepare a magazine article. Speech students learn to speak more ably themselves in working with elementary students as producers and directors. Linguistics emphasizes the grammar overlooked or ignored in earlier years. KING ARTHUR is portrayed by art student to help visualize the era of Idylls of the King in Mrs. Dorothy Wells sophomore English class. Kevin Stogdill compares it with text illustration. MRS. EDWARD POWERS, B.S., attended Abilene Christian Col- lege. She teaches English II.
