Keeping an up-to-date expression of Damien 1976-77 was a constant challenge facing the fourteen members of Brother Keane's News writing Class. After study- ing fundamental journalism theory and techniques during the first quarter, the Publications Room and Room 223 were transformed into a floating press room as student journalists scurried about frantically meeting the ever-present deadlines. The twelfth volume of KE ALII covered every aspect of academic life both on and off campus. It was not uncommon to find the staff remaining after school, finishing page designs and pasting up articles. It is not easy to please all, yet the writers sincerely attempted to cover all aspects of the news. Long hours of researching, interviewing, writing, rewriting, typing and headlining were found to be both gratifying and frustrating. This invalu- able experience of teamwork and shared responsibility was one learned many times over.

Increasing numbers show interest in speech and debate teams The competitive Speech and Debate teams are the first solid teams to appear in recent years at Damien. Mrs. A. Kimura of the Speech Department coordinated all activities. The twelve Speech Team members were given a choice of topics that included competitive speeches, dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, story-telling, poetry reading, original oratory, impromptu speaking and dramatic speaking. During this year about eight speech festivals took place. To obtain a superior rating in a festival, the student must win two of the four judges in his favor. Tournaments, on the other hand are based on rating as well as ranking. This year's topic for the eight Debate Team members was penal reform. All participating schools debated the same issue at numerous festivals held throughout the year. Mrs. Kimura feels very optimistic about this years teams and hopes to expand both of them. Thirty-two aspiring artists participated in Br. O'Hare’s eight period art class. During the year the students learned the fundamentals of lettering, sketching and painting. Master- ing the silk screening process allowed them to design and print their favorite slogans on T-shirts. Field trips were also enjoyed by all as class members journeyed off campus to paint scenery. Creations were displayed throughout the year in room 324 and at the end of the year a special showing was pre- sented to the student body.
