PCCC . . . Miss Frieda Lotze University of Cincinnati Northwestern University, Columbia University Your music teachers will long stand in your memory as you look back over the Christmas and Spring Concerts and other beautiful assemblies th ey helped make perfect. Can you ever forget the amusing antics of the Octette and the beautifully blended voices of the Triple Trio, or the finished productions of the A Cappella Choir? Do you remember how the lovely voices of the Junior and Freshman Choruses always seemed to promise an even better Senior Choir of the future? Do the fine performances of the band and orchestra arouse happy memories in your heart? We will always remember Mr. Zerkle who with his excellent work with the in- strumental section of our music depart- ment joined with Mrs. Murphy in giving us moments of pleasure we'll never forget. Do you remember the strange jargon of tongue-twisting rhymes, the soulful inter- pretations of Shakespeare, the realistic shrieks and groans, the heated arguments and debates which were emitted from Room 242? These were all the ernest efforts of students taking part in classes of speech and dramatics, p r e p a r i n gthemselves through the guidance of the Speech De- partment to be able to take a greater part in civic affairs as citizens of tomorrow. Miss Lotze, head of the Speech Depart- ment, has celebrated her twenty-fifth year in directing the Shakespearean play by presenting Twelfth Night. Her radio skits, practised with the aid of the fascinating Mirrophone to improve enunciation, were given recognition over local stations. The general ways and cultured voice of Mr. Gregory are a memorable part of our own untiring efforts to improve our public speaking, dramatic spontaneity, and induce clear thinking. Mrs. Nelle C.

Miss Margaret K. Dunphy University of Wisconsin, Columbia i l I-low can you torget The stirring story of the birth ot This country in which we live? Perhaps you carried a chip on your shoulder when you tound that American History is required tor grad- uation, but that chip soon melted when you dis- covered how many men and women talked, wrote, sweated, Tought, and died that you might be able to enjoy The blessings ot liberty, which include a tree education. Perhaps you remember Thinking that The only good Thing about The current events paper was The ioke page, but before you finished your study ot current history, you discovered that a knowledge ot what is going on about you To- day is essential To you in order that you wisely use your priceless heritage, The right to vote, in The best way possible.
