. ff 1' H E cg U L all fs .l. l SPEECH Speech courses have, as yet, no place in the Cullom H. S. curriculum. Occasional projects resulting in speech training are carried on in some of the classes. No school time is -now allotted for the carrying on of activities dealing with speaking. In interest, however, these activities rank among the first. Ninth periods are not required to keep seniors at work for long hours after school is dismissed. In some years, sixty students have worked on readings and, whether gifted or not, received individual instruction as often as they wished. Financially, speech activities have been successful. In recent years, senior play funds have purchased a motion picture projector, and expensive electric bell system, and a mimeograph. Aside from the self-disciplinary value of memorizing a play in a required time and of learning to submerge one's own interests for the good of the group, such an activity develops personality more than most activities can. It does not give time, however, for the development of good speech habits and the elimination of speech faults. I3 HYS ICAL EDUCATION An effort has been made this year to provide more op- portunities for physical education. in high school. Seven volley ball teams, four of boys and three of girls, used the gymnasium four noons each week during the winter. On Wednesday noons, the girls practiced basketball. The boys and girls living in town were excused a few minutes early for lunch on these days, as were the faculty members in charge. A physical education class for freshman boys not out for sports was held at a scheduled period each week. A class in physical education for girls was held after school on Fridays, except on track meet days. These sports provide good and necessary exercise for the students who take cart. They do not always replace corrective physical 4iL.ning. Plans for next year indi- cate greater .- : h I e QI I organized class .G U .V '.'. ,. l f f:f.Yh- .
