As communication today rapidly becomes more oral, students must learn to handle speaking situa- tions in a natural and confident manner. Public speaking and debate classes are designed to meet the daily crises that our increasing social and busi- ness worlds impose upon its citizens. Practical experience is gained in pubilc speak- ing through speeches addressed to the class on a wide variety of topics. Group discussions and de- bates broaden this experience. Debaters, arguing the value of a common mar- ket for the western hemisphere, battle for state- wide recognition. Forensics consists of spring speech activities. Among debators who received superior ratings in Valley competition early in the year were Gloria Albrecht, Marshall Chamberlin, Susan Cooper, Brady Denton, Donna Graham, Co nstance Hall, Thomas Karow, Karen Kerr, Patricia Martin, Priscilla Martin, Thomas C. Miller, Randall Schuler, and David Wright. “AH, YOU AGREE?” In presenting an informal speech, Gary Butler creates a relaxed atmosphere for his audience. “BUT I SAY” — Karen Kerr attempts to sup- port a conclusion as Tom Karow and Priscilla Today’ S Society Dem a nds Martin listen skeptically.

Mr. Armin Mesker points out the best method to use in solving an alge- braic equation. Mathematics Oldest Science Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true — Ber- trand Russell. Aside from being amusing, this statement sums up what the mathematically-inclined student begins to realize as he emerges from the secure cocoon of elementary education and begins to see for the first time the bright vistas of human knowl- edge. Almost any subject can be expressed in a logical manner, and mathematics is nothing other than an extremely detailed subdivision of logic. The subjects taught at Arthur Hill, however, con- cern mostly those two non-entities, “point” and “number,” which are never very far apart. The former is the meat of geometry, the study of the relation of “point” or “number.” Neither do we know if God were asked whether all these un- knowns truly describe His world He would answer yes or no. Perhaps this is what Lord Russell meant. 13
