In Speech I, students study the basic principles of speech through presenting various types of speeches to the class. The teacher and the students evaluate the speech and help the speaker gain poise and confidence. Forensics enters into the specialized areas of contest speech and Radio Speech is a combination workshop and study course. All phases of radio such as com- mercials, newscasts, dramas, etc. are presented. Those who complete this course may participate in daily broadcast over WSIV ' s Inside Chinkland. Drama students cover many parts of the theater in Drama I and II. In the first semester, they study theatrical history, stage craft, light- ing, scenery, makeup, production, direction, and acting. Drama II focuses its attention mainly on acting, directing, production, and dramatic literature. These classes spend most of their time presenting scenes from various plays to each other. The goals of the course are to develop the individual talent, to gain control of the voice and body, and to help give students more self-assurance when per- forming for others. 23
