Miss Scott has been the instructor. Much has been accomplished in this first year of the class. On January 15, 1941, the class conducted a quarter-hour program, telling of some of the phases at G. C. H. S., over WJBC at Normal University. Several students gave speeches at the local Lion's Club and P. T. A. meetings. Perhaps the greatest accomplish- ment has been the starting of The Gridlite, the school's weekly newspaper. The annual Speech Festival was held in the gymnasium April 29, with several students besides those in the class participating. In the McLean County Literary contest last year, Gridley made a fineshow- ing. Jack Kearney received an A rating in boys' humorous and Marcella Moser received a B rating in girls' humorous while the other representativesalso re- ceived good ratings.
