ON Ain Producing a radio play takes not only actors, it requires a sound man, an engineer, a director and an announcer. Ted Bielski, Harrison Williams, David Platts, Wilma Fremder, James Taylor, Al Spicer, Virgil Grider and Carl West are in the studio while Norman Ross, Mary Knochel, Norma Athey and Yusuf Qutub command the control room in a radio presentation. The speech department is a busy department for it sponsors and directs all plays, daily and weekly radio broadcasts, debate activities for campus participants or inter-college tourneys and laboratory school programs of stories and playlets. The department sponsors four student organizations, Tau Kappa Alpha, Forensics Club, Sycamore Players and Theta Alpha Phi. Tau Kappa Alpha is the honorary for outstanding students in the dramatic field. A civie organization, Childrens Theatre, is directed by Dr. and Mrs. Masters. Many collegiates receive training in Childrens Theatre when they assume the position of student director. The students of this department receive excellent training in the art of speaking from the well trained faculty group. 29
