n nib 12 rs ar Q Just as om' speech department earns its share of 1 ratings, so the Red Oak speech students were V tops in this field 50 years ago. Public Speaking work was a special feature of high school activities in those days. Of the 235 pupils enrolled in high school, '70 of them participated in this activity. They were said to have surpassed those of most high schools in Iowa. Functions in this event were well at- tended and competition with other schools in this vicinity was keen. A band had not yet been organized- -the Glee Club made up the music activities. They furnished the entertainment preceding the debates and declamations. ln the sports field, football, basketball, and baseball prevailed. The girls' team remained unde- feated: the boys' lost only two games. The football team won all but two of their games. Track, tennis, cross- country, and golf were added to the sports activities in recent years. It has been a most interesting half-century and a peek into the crystal ball indicates that the next 50 years will be even more exciting!
