MISS STANDEFER Spozzmr L Speech is planned to help the student gain poise and self-confidence, and to master the technique of speaking before an audi- ence. In dramatics, the emphasis is laid upon in- terpretation, pantomime, and the knowledges incor- porate in stage craft. De- bate is offered both as a curricular and an extra- curricular activity. Debate and speech trips are made during the year. Our speech people have won several high ratings both in debate and oratory.
