FREEDOM OF SPEECH... Freedom of Speech is greatly encouraged in our school. The students are urged more and more to express their different views, both of school and outside affairs. Discussions in the social studies classes are especially helpful in bringing out the different ideas of the students. They are able to think and give their opinions on various subjects which are brought up by the teacher in order to start the discussion. In our English classes, speech is taught and the students give a number of speeches throughout the year, thus giving not only their own ideas, but the ideas of the authors of many different articles on the chosen subject. Many times during the year speakers are brought to our school to give talks. Some are from the church, to give reli- gious views, some are from different organiza- tions about our town, and others are from out- side the community. These also wish to give their viewpoints on their ideals. Freedom of Speech is our own stepping-stone to greater things. It is the realization of ambi- tions long dreamed of. Without the right to speak our own minds we would never make any progress along the road of success. Yes, we must have Freedom of Speech in our lives.
