THE PEECH, A Reflectedl Jim Middleton, Senior debate student, is open ,to cross-examination as he pre- pares for a coming tournament. , Speech students view the annual debate topic with eager anticipa- tion. l485' Courses in the Speech Department are elective and are designed to give the many students enrolled in these subjects a solid background in the varied aspects of associating and communicating with people. After learn- ing the fundamentals of speech, the students learn and become proficient in parliamentary procedure, public speaking, extemporaneous and after- dinner speaking, declamation, poetry reading, or they choose to associate themselves with drama, learning the history and background of dramatic arts, staging, directing, pantomime, make-up, as Well as the techniques of acting. Another vital aspect of the speech arts which may be selected is debate. The debaters find that the hours of research done and the prepara- tion of briefs and statements of cases, as well as the actual debating, are of intrinsic value to them. In addition to the programs, plays, morning devotionals and announce- ments, which are the responsibility of the speech classes, the speech activities are highlighted by the speech tournaments in which the out- standing students participate, and the lnterscholastic League contest. ln fact, the vast success of this department can be measured somewhat by the numerous trophies on display in the front hall.
