SPEECH OPENS DOORS Speech and journalism help the stu- dent to develop freedom of expression. This year the students are privileged to make use of video tape equipment, ob- tained through Unit 17, to help them to develop poise before an audience. The speech class also has several sessions in the study of the humanities. They view such great works as Doll's House” and “Our Town.” These sessions are presented to further the student’s cultural background. Kathi Robison demonstrates her ability of putting on make-up for a penny carnival project. V Mr. Lyle Fodnes, the principal at Hemingford, has many varied duties. Besides teaching Speech 11 and 12 and English 11, he acts as guidance counsel- or for the school. Mr. Fodnes is also kept busy through the sponsoring of the Student Council, the Honor Society, and the Dramatics Club. Speech students give minute spots to develop their speaking skills. 27

ACTION IS “69” THEME During journalism class senior students painfully learned to write captions, body copy and headlines, crop pictures and produce balanced layout designs for the annual production, under the supervision, guid- ance, and instruction of Mr. Lyle Fodnes. Kathi Robison and Linda Golka share the responsibilities of being co-editors for the year- book, “Action 69”. Other class members chose the sections on which they wanted to work, and now have the op- portunity to put their classroom knowledge into practical use and ap- plication. Mary Darveau, advertising contestant, won third place in the Silver Key Journalism Contest held in Lincoln. Bill Hebbert, editorial contestant, and Karen Messersmith, editorial and news feature contestant, were not among the top three in their divisions of the contest. Students in the journalism de- partment are diligently writing and proof-reading captions for the 1969 yearbook. ROOM 117 hhs JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT )------ •Hi F ELM£ I 26

STUDENTS ARE ON THE AIR This year the speech students are responsible for recording a weekly radio program. Each student is required to hand in a radio story. These stories are care- fully edited and recorded. The main recorder for Hemingford High School is senior speech student Jerry Kiester. Above he is shown in one of his many sessions of preparing the radio program for its broadcast over KCOW radio on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. There are times when they encounter problems; but overall the speech class is quite successful in completing the program for Hemingford High School. One of many radio stories that are covered by senior speech students is the presentation given by State Patrol- man, Paul Manley. He explained what to do in case of a robbery or an accident. The junior students also attended. Fol- lowing the presentation, Mr. Manley an- swered any of the questions which the students who were interested desired to ask. 28
