Debafers conquer languagep journalists express ideas As in previous years, teachers come and go at M.H,S. This year was no exception at M.H.S. Mr. John McSorIey replaced Mr. John Gibson as the new Dramatics Coach. Mr. McSorley's classes taught dramatics stu- dents the meaning of producing a play. Long hours stretched into days and weeks in order to perfect many successful plays. The dramatic's class activities included a Children's Theater, a musical, and a play, along with the ever-demanding final exam. As self-confidence was gained the fear of speech class diminished. The speeches ranged from short introductory talks to a final lengthy speech on a chosen topic. This elective was offered to all students who desired it. Speech ll entailed a different type of study as a mock trial took place. An imitation television program, complete with commercials, was recorded. It was not essential to take Speech I in order to be advanced into the Speech ll class, as Speech and Debate were inter- changeable. Since the high school topic of the year was the Jury System, debate students in this course dwelt with the many different aspects of the law. Debate students were able to attend a Debate Tournament on October 30th, and watched their fellow classmates participate. The teams consisted of Richard Currey and Jill Nevel, along with Steve Nowicki. The Journalism class of '72 specialized in teaching students the mechanics of creating a yearbook or publishing a paper. Students studied how to design layouts, crop pictures, and write copy during this course. The class ended the semester with the students having designed their own spread, or two pages, of a yearbook. The purpose was to test the students on their individual ability to create and produce an acceptable spread in the field' of journalism. The class was taught by the adviser of the Maskodeed and Alltoldy Miss Barbara Mayer. These three electives are part of the choices available to students at MHS. JOURNALISIVI CLASS hleps Alltold staffers Lee Chelminiak Verne Britton and Lea Stout. COMBINING NEWS SKILLS and business for the paper are Verne Britton and news editor Cindy Shafer. SPEECH CLASS gives Pat McGann an opportunity to address her classmates on educational innovations.
