The aim of the speech department is to instruct students in correct speech habits and prepare them for all phases of public speaking. After a year or two of vocal music, we were all convinced that Dunc'an's music chorus was second to one-Fred War- ing's Glee Club. In addition to the mixed chorus, a girls, trio, a girls' quar- tette, a boys' quartette, and the boys' and girls' chorus complement the music de- partment. The D. H. S. band, under the leader- ship of Mr. Burchardt, has risen to a point of notable acclaim among similar bands in this state.
