The speech students of Ecorse High School have developed their ability in the art of forenics through the medium of essay contests, orations, declamations, and interpretative readings. During the year fourteen Freshmen memorized declamations for the local con- test, and Genevieve Bondarenok was awarded first place. Eleanor Kirby represented the school in both the jefferson Essay Contest and the Twin Valley Oratorical Con- test. The year's extempore speaker was Louise LeBlanc. Transportation curtailment and the war effort diverted the attentions of speech students from debate to civilian defense work.

The true aim of the Crafts class is to give opportunity to as many students aspossible to develop their favorite hobbies. Everyone has the chance to try many crafts among which are: weaving, knitting, crocheting, basketry, clay modeling. We are fortunate in having wonderful weaving equipment. This year we have turned our efforts to the war work. All being members of the junior Red Cross, we have completed many articles to help those less fortunate than we, such as, knitted and woven afghans, quilts, hospital slippers, and children,s wearing apparel. We are trying to do our share to help. Our membership averages about twenty-eight students and we hold an annual exhibit in june in the art room. ome. com, 7?efrcsenf'eflifCS Row 1, left to right: I.
