Ruth Anne Weaver and Don Woody admire their first place trophy won in regular division at the Parkview Tournament. Glendale's Speech Department strives to teach students how to express themselves clearly and fluently by means of two courses, fundamentals of speech and public speak- ing. Fundamentals of speech serves as a basic prepara- tory course in general speaking and as an introduction to more advanced competitive speaking. In the spring of every year, fundamental speech students participate in a Neophyte Tournament which serves as a sample of the competition they will face if they continue in speech. Public speaking is made up of those students qualified for tournament competition. Students compete in debate, extemporaneous speaking, original oratory, dramatic and humorous interpretation, duet acting, poetry, oratorical declamation, and speciality events. Students travel to various schools across the state for tournaments. James Baysinger Fundamentals of Speech Public Speaking English I L.. GET THE FACTS . . .
