The ln- terpretive Communication class re- ceived a second place trophy for their presentation of the reader's theatre, Liza Lou and The Yeller' Belly Swamp. The debate team made quarter finals.

Stu- dents learned to overcome their fear of speaking. Kale Carlisle, sopho- more Speech I student, said, The first time I got up to speak, I was scared to death, but after that it wasn't so bad. Many seniors who took and liked Speech I in their sophomore years, had speech classes for both their senior and junior years. lt's really amazing to see how these students have changed. They have opened up so much, said Miss Larance. One student used to turn red when anyone looked at her, now she's fighting for the stage with the rest of them. Organizations I Academics
