PUBLIC SPEAKING This course has only recently gained rather a prominent place in ll ll? : J i l i , , l lil: l f ll ' eil I ll? i ill Es :ll 2225 fi W, our high school. In some cases it is substituted for the last year of , . , English. Students are finding this course very helpful as it enables l Q them to speak with greater ease and with better expression of their Y thoughts. Four years ago it would have been thought impossible for I Q the students to have put on an entire program before the student body y w y and faculty. I l NOW it is a simple matter to arrange such a program. This has I been made possible largely through public speaking. 2 0 I 1z5f1'm'l0r, Miss Allen 0 2 MATHEMATICS Q A two year course in this subject is required for graduation.
