Opportunities for public speaking are provided in Sunday evening vesper services, meetings of the Philophronean Literary Society, and programs presented in near-by towns. All students participate in the annual Declamation Contest, and class teams meet in the traditional Junior-Senior Debate. An important phase of the speech course is the memorization of Scripture, and the speech class presents portions of Scripture in choral readings as part of the Thanksgiving Banquet, the Christmas program, and the Easter Cantata.
