Provide In-Depth Enrichment Stressing the need for development of focility in speech, Mr. Roy Atwater aided his speech classes in acquiring a working language and an ability to speak before people. His first year classes, devoting themselves to learning fundamental speaking skills, worked on basic speech pro|ects throughout the year. The public speaking class participated in competitive speaking and forensics, centering around the topic: ■■Resolved: That the Federal Government should adopt a program of compulsory arbitration in la- bor-management disputes in the basic industries. ■ Highlighting the year for these advanced speakers, who form Muirs Forensics League, was a series of ten tournaments held at schools in Southern Cali- fornia s Midland League.
