Seniors mix fun and hard work in Dramatics Class where they master techniques of the stage'-both on and off. Public Speaking, a more extensive study of speech, is offered to the Iuniors and Seniors. Individually, they acquire the gracefulness and poise necessary for becoming effective speakers. IN PREPARING for the Bishops Oratoricals, Public Speaking students Carole Temmerman.
