Speech And Drama Encourage Creativeness Bernyce Struntze Eloise Birky Marjorie Estby Because seventy-five percent of our com- munication time is spent in either speaking or listening, Speech is now a required subject at the sophomore level. For the student who has an added interest in Speech a number of elec- tives in the Speech Field--Advanced Speech, Dramatic Arts and Production Techniques-- are offered. In addition to the courses in Speech, the extra curricular program offers forensics, debate and plays. It isn't so much hard work as hard fun. The study of dramatics is an enriching, re- warding, and disciplinary experience. The study of drama as literature enriches our ap- preciation of some of the great authors past and present. Approached with a real desire to understand, the study of drama with the ne- cessity for understanding a character in order to present him to an audience is an aid for understanding the people among whom we live. Any student accepting a role in a drama- tic production or on a production crew learns to cooperate in order to produce a polished production. The self-discipline necessary to get this work done and also keep on with his other responsibilities aids in the student's maturation.

Home And Family Living Aids L .i B u r ' sf ' if A x Q' QW, - : i i i Mildred Hutchins Mary Patrick Education in home and family living is fun- damental to the growth and development of an individual. If all members of a family are to live together harmoniously, the adolescent needs to learn to accept responsibility as a member of the family. Home and Family education recognizes the home as a place where children and adults find security, develop character, and learn a satis- fying pattern of life. Our home and family cur- riculum is built around the characteristic needs and wants of the high school student in a family centered program. This program helps the indivi- dual to become more conscious of his home and community responsibilities. He will become a bet- ter friend and citizen by particpating in a variety of experiences which will give him confidence in his ability to meet new situations as they arise with the greatest satisfaction. sg-+ oth Girls And Boys I ... 1 J.
