high school students for college life What would we do without our oral means of communication? We certainly wouldn't be able to communicate as effectively with others. At Madison, students try to improve their speech by studying English, Latin, and speech. English classes help the student to improve upon both his written and oral means of communication. Speech specializes in teach- ing the student how to make a speech before a group. Training obtained from speech will help the student prepare himself for any speech he may have to make for any occasion. Many people think that Latin only pertains to old ruins and such like. However, derived from Latin are the bases of many languages, including our own.
