Speech, Languages Improve Communications Modern languages, French and Spanish, are taught by Mr. Keith Bell. The listening lab provides a practical and useful way of learning the unique sounds of foreign lan- guages. These courses give students a degree of conversational competence in speaking other languages. Teaching speech and debate is Mrs. Ger- trude Taylor. The fundamentals of speech classes work on tone quality, enunciation, and distinct sounds. Oral interpretation stu- dents learn how to get the authors' ideas across through movement, emphasis, and voice inflections. Some of the material worked on included Robert Browningis The Last Duchessw and portions of scrip- ture from the Bible. Mrs. Taylor is interest- ed in the students gaining a sense of self- confidence and poise in interpersonal rela- tionships. lVlrs.

Specialized Fields Mold TomorroW's Leaders Elmer Harbin, Professor of Physical Education, has im- proved the physical prowess of the students of MANC in the arts of calisthenics, basketball, tennis, volleyball, soft- ball, archery, and table tennis. The poise and confidence gained through the attainment of skill in these sports has helped many Mid-America students. Coach Harbin has also been known to teach four-legged animals in his classes. One in particular, dubbed HCharlie'i or 'LGeorge'i by many of the students, seemed to learn nearly as much as his two-legged counterparts. Roberta Reed, Instructor in Business Education, teach- CS beginning and advanced typing and shorthand. Typing and shorthand are valuable aids to college students today and may provide a vocation for them tomorrow. Hopeful- ly, however, the secretarial skills taught by Mrs. Reed may also someday be used by her students to further the vital work of the church. lVlr.
