Essential ingredient for achieving success The ability to communicate effectively was an important technique. Those students who had good communication skills were often class leaders and club of- ficers. For them it was natural to get along with others and express ideas. Several classes were offered for the students who didn't have this natural talent, and for the ones who did — a -hancc to polish it and become much more proficient. Speaking, writing, conversing and cop- ng were all a part of communication. Mr. Glasscock’s speech class was exciting but everyone found out that standing in front )f a crowd to give a talk wasn't an easy hing to do. Laura Cone said, “Once you »et used to it, speaking behind the podium vas really fun. It was hectic giving a ipeech every week, but it was enjoyable vatching others give their speeches and vatching their actions.’’ There was no area of the school that wasn't affected by communication. Lab partners had to discuss their experiment in order to get the correct results. Group discussions enabled students to gain in- sight to problems by listening to each other.
