PEECH ls.. A course in elocution was oiTered in 1899, but it was not until the 1960's that speech took its place as a major part of our school's curriculum. Speech, under the direction of Mrs. Lotta June Merrill, helps students develop their poise and talent through work in poetry, humorous and dramatic in- terpretation, prepared oratory and extemporaneous speaking, as well as every day conversation. The Speech Department also sponsors extracurri- cular activities, notably the Public Speaking and De- bating Society, the Debate Wforkshop, and the annual Speech Arts Festival.
