Secretary-Verna Plury Speech Activities Each year a local and district forensic contest is held. Any student in the high school nay participate. Among the various categories are: humorous and serious dec- lamations, extemporaneous speeches and readings, and four minute speeches• Senior Class Play Knee Deep in Trouble The Burton family have never grown up. They've defended on Mrs. Burton to polish shoes, wash socks, pick up discarded clothes and do most of their thinking for them. So the afternoon that Violet wraps the car around a telephone pole, giving her mother a fractured skull. is indeed a fateful one. The family is lost without Mrs. Burton to keep them straight. Their various attempts to keep the family running results in a spark- ling comedy, as they are always Knee Deep in Trouble.
