Debate, ramaties and Speech Help Develop ral Conquering the shakes that usually accompany a public speaking engagement and discovering the tech- niques of good speech preparation are the tasks of speech students. The student learns poise and control, and participates in speaking contests and programs. Dramatics gives the student a chance for personal expression in serious and humorous plays and reading. The history of the theatre, costuming and make-up, and acting techniques are studied and applied in the class's annual play. Communication Skills Since the ability to communicate easily with our fellow men is essential, Berkley High offers several courses that strive to teach the student this neces- sary skill. The courses include debate, speech, dramatics, and iournalism. Learning to apply logical thinking to everyday conversation keeps debate students talking. ln this course many regular debates and discussions are held, usually on a controversial issue. Research techniques are also covered in detail. Page 23 Mrs.Marg0reTMcQuaid B.A . Alma College .Q l ll' KJ :g:,... tl Mr. Raymond Adler B.A. Wayne State U. M.A. Wayne State U. Mr. R Fisher B.A .
