Speech ll was the beginning ofthe stu- dent's actual experience in dramatics. Procedures of debate, scene analysis, pantomiming, and acting were a few of the fundamentals taught. Also, studies were made over the history of drama and of drama today. Various types of speeches, interpreta- tions, and duets in acting were entered i'n local tournaments by a number of speech students representing AHS.

Programs with special guests were presented and films were shown. The civics classes had city and county officials to come and to speak to them about state and city governments. These special activities helped to create an interest in history for the students. There were seven different types of history offered at Aldine. Many courses such as civics, advanced government, and econom- ics prepared students for college. With all of these many courses and new teaching methods, a student could prepare himself for the future.
