SPEECH In this universe of growing dissension, in this world where peoples long oppressed are putting forth their claim of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the importance of the ability to speak well is immeasurable. Democracy means that each citizen must share in the great ideas of his civilization. Speech, debate, and dramatics aid in accomplishment of this ideal. Special speech pupils study voice improvements with the microphone. Mr. Wfayne Gregory returned to the Waliiut Hills faculty this year after three and a half years in the Navy, but since his return he has become known also to the younger pupils, es- pecially through his position as adviser of the Freshman Class, and through his supervision of the junior Dramatic Club and its play, Lady Precious Stream. Miss Lotze, head of the speech department at Walnut Hills, has directed the Shakespearean plays and spring plays at school for quite a few years, all of which have been successful. Aside from her work in directing, Miss Lotze has several speech and dramatic classes and two special speech classes. We are deeply grateful to Miss Lotze for her fine co-operation and her untiring work. MR. GREGORY MISS LOTZE 26
