Laura Perry was caught giving her speech with her eyes closed. Preparing a speech in thirty minutes is not an easy task. However, this did not intimidate the volunteers for the 1978-1979 Extemporaneous Speaking. Of the nine participants, each proved that he was capable of performing well under pressure. Topics were chosen from articles on current events appearing in Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report. Each person re- searched one of the three topics he had chosen. After making his selection, he was allowed thirty minutes in the library to prepare for the five minute speech. Judges for the Extempo raneous Speaking were Mrs. Driver, Mr. Rowlett, Mrs. Pappalardo, and Mr. Hester. The contestants were judged on thought content, clarity of organization, ade- quacy of supporting details, and poise. Speeches were on inflation, political parties, women’s rights, tax revolt, and foreign affairs. David Price won first place with his speech on foreign affairs in Afghanistan. David will go on to represent Midlothian High School in the state competition. Andy Wakefield uses his hands in place of visual aide. Academics 11

Charles Darwin? Origin of Species? If one were not familiar with this man and his theories before he attended the Midlothian Drama De- partment’s winter production, then the play In- herit the Wind was probably informative as well as entertaining. During the play, one discovered that Charles Darwin was the originator of the theory of evolu- tion known as Darwinism. Darwin developed this theory in his book The Origin Of Species. Bertram Cates’, Timmy Williamson, teaching of Darwin’s theory of evolution created a wide and profound sensation among the whole commu- nity of this small town. Darwin’s work was viewed as conflicting with the prevailing inter- pretation of the scriptures. Cates was brought to trial in this small town in 1925, and his case soon became nationally known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. The play ran from Thursday, February 15, through Saturday, February 17. Seven inches of snow on Tuesday night postponed the play which was originally scheduled to begin on Wednesday, February 7. Although this at first seemed an insurmountable problem for the Drama Department, it did provide time for an- other rehearsal. The brilliant performance was appreciated by all those who attended. -opes Monkey i Cc t when her husband falls to the ground. The first televised program on the Scopes Sy Ar is oa aa Trial is brought to you by Harry Y. Esterbrook, Jeff Lynn. Academics 13
