The Senior English class developed their speaking abilities by giving oral book reports. Here Ann Marolf is shown giving her book report. Language And Speech All English students made book reports, and each class had other projects. For the Seniors this meant MacBeth, the Canterbury Tales, and research papers. For Juniors it was studying Our Town, interpreting poetry, and using good English. The Sophomore English class studied Julius Caesar, Silas Marner, The King and I, and they wrote short stories. Step by step Mrs. Seifert drew her Spanish I II classes out of the English world into the thinking and speaking realm of Espanol. Her emphasis was on inflection, memory, and pronunciation. The work attempted to create in the student an understanding of a language and a culture totally foreign to our Class participation is an important part of learning. Mr. Seabold encouraged his 7th grade English class to give their answers orally. The speech and dramatics department under Mrs. Norma Gehring furnished excellent training in the different aspects of speech instruction, including reading, speech-making, and dramatics. This year the dramatics class presented the play Our Town. For the first time at Leo the play was given in the round. The first year Spanish class recalled their vocabulary words as they wrote sentences on the black board.
