PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB Clear enunciation, good sentence structure, and control of voice and body have been the aims of the Public Speaking Club of 303, which was directed by Miss Eich. In particular, we emphasized the fact that a pleasing voice, full, well-rounded, and modulated would be the primary aim of every speech. In order to accomplish these purposes, the club began by telling fairy tales. The five best stories were retold at the John Hay school. After this work, we used magazine material for talks on current topics. We worked for organization of material that would be pleasing and interesting. Later, a declamatioh contest was held in order to cultivate poise and animation of delivery. This term, we stressed distinct enunciation particularly. Readings were given, keeping this aim in mind. The latter part of the term was devoted to a one-act play, ttThe Man in the Bowler Hat? by A. A. Milne. A double cast was used in order to have more pupil participation. Miss Eicb Page Tbirty-two

SHORT STORY CLUB The purpose of the Short Story Club is to create or awaken a love of literature, to foster a respect for the rights of others through proper care of library books, to establish a varied background of reading for the boy which may assist him in his future choice of an occupation, and, finally, to awaken the latent literary talent which is in most people. Members of the club aim to read various types of stories and retell or dramatize parts so that others will want to read them. It also affords an outlet for the irresistable writer,s urge. The club also makes posters and cutouts suggestive of the many short stories they have read. The members prepare lists of books of various types of stories. This club work has resulted in an appreciation on the part of its members of the better types of literature. Miss Williams is the adviser. Mm William: Page Tbirty-one

PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB Talking is our most common method of self-expression. Our club aims to improve the art of speech. This can be accomplished by working on voice, manner of speech, poise, facial expression, and the correction of speech defects. The chief defects which we have been working to remedy are: bad placement of tone, shortness of breath, and minor speech defects such as lisping, stammering, and faulty enunciation. Self-consciousness is the common enemy of beginners in public speaking. This seems rather strange because children love to perform before audiences and ask for opportunities to speak before large groups. Im- provement in ability to speak clearly and intelligently has brought new confidence and poise to our members. Inexperienced speakers have a tendency to emphasize wrong words and misconstrue the authoris meaning when they memorize recitations independently. Since it is difficult to break habits like these, the club members prefered to work with new selections. t Through their public speaking work the pupils have be- come acquainted with the finest orations and recitations, and have become more discriminating in their choice of reading material. . ., Mrs. Bolinger is the adviser.
