Cultivating the power of speech is the main objective of our speech courses taught by Sister Evelyn. Speech I, compulsory for freshmen, puts Parliamentary Law into practice, giving the students opportunity to speak both on the stage and off. Public Speaking, offered to Iuniors and Seniors, demonstrates the techniques of oration, and informal speeches. ln Dramatics, a senior course, the girls not only have a chance to display their theatrical abilities but also learn the art of backstage produc- tions. ln the Voice Culture classes musical strains of melodious harmony pour forth under the direction of Sister Anne Virginia and Sister Ioseph Eileen. The participants. Sophomores and Iuniors, aim at developing the solo voice. Toward the end of the year their efforts are enjoyed at a program assembly. 1'- E--
