All earthly sounds suddenly vanished. Silence penetrated the ear drums. Speech appeared lost. The only solution was body language. Body language differed completely from sign language. There were no set rules to follow. The talker commanded the mo- tions. A course in body language should be offered in school. It's a foreign language all together, stated freshman Rick David- son. Many aspects were involved in this pro- cess. Students used all parts of the body to communicate their meaning, some a little more than others. Facial expressions are the key.

Body language played an important role in daily situations. Some essential points just did not come across by speech alone. As freshman Paul Steiner added, A picture is worth a thousand words. by Sun Kim Juniors
