This year the girls and Mrs. McAlister wlll go to the William Henry Home and then to the Ohlo State Museum. ln the after- noon, we will go to a show, then home. This year we have studied Home Decorating, Embroidery, Nutrition, and Home Nursing. Each girl made a report on a subject in which she was interested and also gave a demonstration. The last slx weeks we'll do spring sewing. Speech ctrvlties Our speech class consists of fourteen members under the guidance of Miss Margie Groover. Throughout the year we have participated in several events and vlslted many college campuses. One of our classmates, Froggy Graham, has said these famous words, 'Take speech and tour Ohio . A truer statement has never been spoken. Al Ohio University we visited their new speech department and attended a debate analysis. We speech members came to the conclusion that Mlss Grooves despised to walt on red lights and always waited at stop slgns for at least ten minutes. We attended a speech clinic at Ohio State University. We learned how to put on make-up effectively, how to make your own sets for little money and we saw a scene from 'King Iohn . At a later date we saw the entire play. We were interested ln the effect of scenery and lights as well as the plot. At Kent State Dr. Hunter, Ohlo Wesleyan University, spoke about presenting Shakesperlan Plays in the hlgh school. We learned the art of making beards and we saw a one act play ln the round. Perhaps the most fascinating event of the day was the play, Medea . We have displayed our dramatic talents through a one- act play written by Mlss Margie Groover and under her dlrectlon. The class enjoyed doing lt although there were many trying moments. The class further demonstrated its abllltles ln a radlo play presented for an assembly. Dreaming up sound effects provided us with several laughs. Eva Lou Fontanelle and Carolyn Hardin entered an oratlcal contest at Wlllls High School. Eva ranked thlrd with her oratlcal declamatlon and Carolyn ranked flrst with her cutting from Medea . The speech class has entered a one- act play contest, a poeny reading contest and a radlo play contest. We hope to bring home some flrsts ln those dlvislons. We've studied hard and had a lot of fun and who knows. . .ate of us may become an actress or actor. 27
