'Er-ics -A Pallas S This year Sherwood has been very fort- unate ln adding to her curriculum, a new Subject--public speaking. Under the very able leadership of Miss Griffin, this class has proved to be one of the most practical, yet enjoyable classes in school. The public speaking class has been responsible for many assemblies during the past year, and as we glance over them we find many favorable comments from teacher and pupil alike. In the heat of election arguments the class presented a very timely program--a debate--'Resolvedz that Franklin Roosevelt oe reelected pres1dent.' Although the school was evenly divided, the occupant of the White House now shows the result of the debate. Later in the fall, at the opening of the basketball season, we roused the en- 'tlre school with a spirited pep meeting, having speeches from various class members During our study of parliamentary law, we presented a very amusing assembly. We demonstrated to the pupils first a regular class meeting as found in any of our class rooms, with more bulls-eyes scored with erasers than real work accomplished, F011- owing was the correct conducting of a class meeting according to parliamentary law, and we feel our efforts have been rewarded with more frequent and better organized 'In May, Sherwood again put her name in the county speaking contest, after several years of non-participation. The six girls of the class competed at school in a special assembly to determine the school's representative. By a group of faculty Judges, Jane Power- won this nomar with Helen Keough as a very close second. Jane went to Weedsport to the county finals. Later in the month the boys had their contest, and Buddy Young won the local competition. Buddy went to Moravia to the county finals, -- and returned victor- ious with the plaque that signifies oratorical excellence in Cayuga County. Sherwood hopes to keep the plaque with future victories. Good work, Buddy. Every student in public speaking this year has felt his time well-spent, and finds that no longer is he a timid tongue-tied lad afraid to speak when asked. Rather he is glad of the chance to show by a speech what Miss Griffims Public Speaking class has done for him. ----Jane Powers C ' ff' we class meetings. Besides these assemblies the class J Z has been asked to take over when we have ESPVUWPLX guest speakers, to make introductions and ,-aa. FQ4-Z concluding remarks.
