exts in English The advanced speech class learned many new things. ln order to widen each individual's speaking ability to many areas, each student had to major either in drama, original, boys and girls exempt or debate and also a minor in two-area or impromptu, oratorical, discussion, lulmorous, poetry, or broadcasting. Even though the students developed their skills in three areas, they could give advice and guidance in almost any area of speech because they had been properly trained. The students had the privilege of helping to set up the second largest speech meet in Indiana. Mr. Oglesby's sophomore English and literature classes were very busy. They had short fiction and nonfiction stories, poetry, drama, speech, grammar, and composition which broadened their knowledge in many areas. Mrs. Swan taught eight grade and freshman classes. In literature they had small discussion groups of five or six, and each group discussed the area in which they were studying. The students learned good sentence structure and each was required to memorize and recite one poem in front of the class. The junior English classes instructed by lVlr.Walker worked on improving sentence structure and express- ing themselves orally and in writing. Senior students became more prepared for college by writing weekly themes, preparing research papers, and taking weekly vocabulary quizes. , o , 1 .-3 of 09'-'C .mfg- Q ,WE .A!'f7 'q l ,,lJM?:, -M----.miss W.
