All classes except the sophomores are represented in this new division of public speaking, extemporaneous, under the supervision of Martin F, Jackley. The students prove their ability in the art of quick preparation by com- posing a ten minute speech on a current event of the week. Each speaker draws a topic and is given an hour in which to prepare his talk. Material is taken from any paper or magazine which may contain articles on the subject. The speeches are judged on originality, presentation, clarity, and conviction. The class often meets with the debate students and have taken several trips with the debate squad. On several occasions they have won honors in extemporaneous contests, William Stone placing third at a Speech Derby held in Lead early in the season, and Bill Caton and Zola Jervis winning first and sec- ond respectively in a contest at Newell.
