J. Daniel Kocher gives Steve Theobald a few pointers on a speech he is to give before his speech class. To Broaden Our Outlook IQQQCA. What is your speech going to be about ? This was a popular question around the halls, for speech was a popular course. In the beginning speech class, the student acquired confidence in speaking before an audience. Discus- sion and debate played big roles, also. Advanced speech class gave the student more self-confidence, and he learned the basic fundamentals of drarnatics. The beginning and advanced speech classes were taught by J. Daniel Kocher. l'1.gA5A ol2f0I'atbU'e' In the English literature course, which often is re- ferred to as senior literature, the students grasp some of the visions that such poets as Shakespeare, Mil- ton, Byron, and Burns have passed on to us through their great literary works.

And Use Uur Minds And Bodies .Ari Many art students, this year, have derived a great deal of pleasure from their courses in fine and applied art. Various new features were added to the art department which enabled students to develop their skills more fully in this field. To the ceramic department were added three potters' wheels, two kilns, and a spray booth. Large drawing tables, double sinks, and added cabinet space are many of the new features which were enjoyed by Lorena Williams' art classes. Doloris McDonald and one of her girls' health classes ex amine Oscar in their study of the human body. 8 ollglaafy A new feature at S. H. S. which students en- joyed throughout the year was the spacious four-room library. The reading area in the large main room has been furnished with a couch and two lounge chairs. Magazines and newspapers could be found in this part of the room. The quiet, new study room was a great help when making special reports and doing research work. Sev- eral sets of encyclopedias provided students with information which enabled them to have better understandings of their chosen topics. Olive Kinsley, the librarian, had a workroom adjoining the main reading room for preparing the books for the shelves and for taking care of all the necessary library paper work. JUMAL A subject of great importance to all students is health. Doloris McDonald, girls' health in- structor, and Arthur Barnett, boys' health in- structor, helped pupils to obtain a better under- standing of the functions of the body. During the one-semester course, the students studied cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Blood typ- ings were made on all class members and on members of the faculty who requested it.
