n f!ze earn of Speec i Q T 2 2 T i A verbal tug of war. l 5 l X f Mr. R. Kantpschroer, J. Foreit, T. Ortciger, H. Klein. SPEECH ARTS The Speech Arts Club embodies all the phases ot oral communication under The supervision ot Mr. R. W. Teeter. Here, individuals interested in improving their power ot eloquence may do so through any one ot The many clubs coordinated by this organization. When the skills ot these golden voiced orators have been sufficiently de- veloped, They are allowed to prove Their prowess by participation in intra-mural and inter-scholastic activities. The most important ot These events is The lllinois High School Association Speech Con- test. Here, Morton enters dramatic groups, debate Teams, and various types ot individual speakers who always manage To do remarkably well. Debate may be compared to verbal fencing as opposing teams parry atotirmatively and negative- ly. The skill required in this play ot ideas is built up Through extensive reading on a given subject. Facts are compiled To torm a basis around which arguments are built, establishing or retuting a point. This is put to practical use by competitive debating with other schools. Mr. R. Brown, Mr. V. Bunnel, and Mr. R. Kamp- schroer are the motivating forces behind the de- bate teams as they spur Them on To bigger and better arguments. 'lend me your ears ROW lr fsufitc-rip Nl line., J. Novak, L.
