THE SPEECH CLASS In the fall of ' 41 ten pupils were enrolled in the speech class under the direction of Miss Miller. Their first project was to learn a few poems and to give them before the class, the assembly, and P.-T. A. They also kept a scrapbook in which they collected many different kinds of poems and readings. The class next centered their attention upon the radio, and in front of the assembly they gave three broadcasts which proved to be quite enter- taining and beneficial for the class in this kind of work. One morning the sound of bells, a beating of a dish pan, dropping of books, and singing were heard coming from Mr. Eiler ' s office. Now don ' t get excited; it was the speech class giving another one of those radio broadcasts which were so much fun! On Friday morning, February 6, the class gave a program on Cour- tesy before the assembly which was for entertainment as well as for showing the puipls what they could do around school to be more Cour- teous. This type of program proved very successful. The next projects were two one-act plays. After many hours of study and practice, Sixteen and Oh, Say Can You Sing? were ready for production and were given before the assembly and P.-T. A. Every month the Reader ' s Digest was used for reports which were given only before the class for the purpose of becoming accustomed to facing an audience and being able to speak. Their last project was orig- inal speech construction which proved they had many able extemporan- eous speakers. The class enjoyed doing this type of work as it has every- thing else it has done throughout the entire year. Page 20
