Speech, English, and journalism classes are par-ticularily instrumental in emphasizing the need for development as well as the need for understanding and competence in this academic area. By the end of the year, speech students, through necessary practice, have gained much of the poise needed in both public speaking and conversation. Skills in composition and creative writing were acquired by all the Academy students in the English classes. Book reports, short stories, and projects for more effective reading and listening helped the students in their personal expression and communication. In addition to the routine study of grammar, literature, composition, and public speaking, attendance at the new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis was an enriching experience for both English and speech students. When knowledge acquired in English class was combined with instruction in journalism, a group of future news reporters was created. A majority of these served on the Quiver, the Academy newspaper.
