Li la Q 4 sf 3 , f Getting the job takes more than just the qualifications for that job, finds Ann Bailey as she is interviewed by Bill John- son. Poise, neat dress, and well thought speech are just as important, and maybe more so, for first impressions often are the determining factors in who will be accepted. Y Talking isn'T speaking One doesn't have time for jitters or fumbling when he has to make a five minute speech every week. So say speech teachers to the horror stricken students after they have just been assigned their first speech. Students soon learn that it is not enough to be able to just talk. The use of facial expressions and hand action are also essential in delivering a good speech. By the time a semester has passed, all speech students are proficient in giving many types of speeches, rang- ing from introductions to political declamations, and abound in confidence and good speech habits. 4 Thank you, says Patty Mason as she receives a gift from Chris Schad. Knowing the proper etiquette for giving and receiving gifts is essential to the speech student as well as to everyone else, for who knows when the occasion to use this training will arise? f '3 ' s Henrietta Cortright Mtv! u SKTQN -
