Mr. Messner, Dr. Stuber, Mr. Steffler, and Mr. Dowdy assist Dr. Boyer and Mr. Davis in teaching Bible courses which are aimed at interesting the student in personal study beyond the classroom. Languages help develop the mind. Grace students also discover that languages are tools for future life service.

Jim Davis and Ardis Parlin learn from Mr. Garlock the techniques of building stage sets. A round of applause emanating from the little theatre indicates that another successful speech has just been completed. Students gain experience in speaking through writing and delivering their original compositions and participating in small group play productions. A recording console, installed in Room 8, has provided speech majors a place to tape and play back their voices to see where improvement is needed. Many students find that speech classes have even helped to improv e their daily conversations.
