'Sorry, Mrs. Juergens. Caugk-Jn Season for shooting what? The 1969 Speech Class gave a double-feature program before the student body. Oddly enough, the first feature was a play entitled Double-Talk. The plot consisted of identities, double identities, and mistaken identities which all added up to humor. The second part was a modified “Laugh-in,” in which the entire speech class took part. At the closing curtain, thanks were expressed to Mr. Church, speech class instructor, who played a major role in the planning of the program.
