Entered in the interpretative reading compe- tition were Sondra Miller, Barbara Kuehn, and Georgi Kulik. Jerry Hackbart, Roger Wahl, and Eileen Combs presented original orations. Participating in radio speak- ing were Allen Krueger and Sharon Dalluge. Following the contest the speech department presented a program to the com- munity to show the various types of speech activities. Six high school students participated in the one-act comedy “Antic Spring” which was entered in county preliminary speech contest. The play opens with these young people riding in a car on their way to a picnic. There is Ginger, (Barbara Kulik) earnest and overbearingly sunny; Robert, (Roger Wahl) the sensitive one; Blossom, (Barbara Kuehn) the perpetually exuberant and idiotic teenager; Sam, (Donald Urbatsch) and Gwendolyn, (Darlene Wahl) the lovers who live a life of an adolescent violence ranging from rage to young soulfulness; and Elbert, (Wes Combs) the little brother looks on with noisy criticism at their actions and always wants to eat. An outstanding feature of the play was that no props were used other than the six chairs to represent the car in which the teenagers were riding.
