Morton Speech, Dramatics Provide Opportunities DESCRIBING HIS BREAKFAST of bacon, eggs and toast is Senior Tim Kallok. Students illustrate and explain their particular drawings to ful¬ fill chalk talk assignments given during the speech course. Extra-credit courses in speech and dramatics offered students the opportunity to communicate key ideas. Although Speech I was open to all classes, counselors primarily urged underclassmen to elect speech so they might continue with advanced courses and possibly enter debate or extemporaneous speaking. Record pantomimes, chalk talks and “heckle” speeches comprised the semes¬ ter’s work. Imitating a recording artist’s gestures and lip movements was the aim of students when pantomiming records. Grades were evaluated on the basis of facial expression, ease of gestures and the student’s knowledge of his selection. Chalk, blackboard and a student were all that were needed to create a successful chalk talk. Aspiring orators diagrammed the insides of light bulbs, of ball point pens and of kissing dolls while explaining their drawings. “Heckle” speeches were required so that students could gain experience in dealing with people who try to confuse speakers with taunts. The dramatics department presented “You Can’t Take It With You,” a three-act play by Hart and Kaufman. Dramatics students also performed in a children’s play, “The Clown Prince of Wanderlust” and three one-act plays — “Trysting Place,” “Impromptu,” “Undercurrents.” 26

Acquaint Students in Speech, Grammar, Literature Students in all courses found that the library contained valuable sources of information for term papers and reports as well as providing a quiet place to study any period during the day. The proper procedures for find¬ ing materials through the use of the card file and Dewey Decimal System were taught in English I. Composition V students took the Kuder Preference Test to reveal natural aptitudes and to determine in which areas — outdoor, literary, artistic, social service, mechanical, musical or scientific — they were most in¬ terested. Students received recognition by having their essays featured in a column of the Chicago Tribune. A new language laboratory was introduced in the Eng¬ lish literature classes this year. Teachers experimented to see if stud ents better comprehended literature when listening to a recording and reading it at the same time than by just reading the selection alone. Student discussions and opinions were also recorded. The basic “do’s” and “don’ts” of writing were taught in a one semester journalism course. Students wishing to exhibit their journalistic talents and abilities chose to work on either the Top Hat or Mortonite staff. 25
