Junior and Senior Speech Classes Cover HHS News The responsibility of bringing this year’s news to the students and surrounding community fell upon the junior and senior speech classes who produced the school newspaper and radio program. These media kept a close watch on lo- cal events and provided a public service for an- nouncements and constructive criticism. Students of Speech II learned the fundamen- tals of practical journalism through their bi- weekly publication, The Feline. News items con- cerned with sports, academics, social events and editorials formed the backbone of the paper. A new process of letter transfer eliminated the slow and delicate cutting of headlines on sten- cils which gave The Feline the added touch of boldfaced headlines. A weekly radio program brought the HHS news to the airwaves each Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. over KCOW. This broadcast was a project of the Speech 12 class and served to bring the school news to a wider range of the community. The senior speech class gained the tech- niques of broadcast journalism through this pro- gram, as well as valuable practice in speaking and news commentary. Along with this the people of the area were able to hear what was happen- ing at HHS and perhaps better understand how their young people were being educated. 16
