Speech, Theatre, Speech Correction Speech Department Hosts Annual Speech Festival The speech department yearly hosts the High School Speech Festival. Schools from all ,over central Minnesota send representatives to participate in the speech contests held in Riverview. Another important activity is the stag- ing of three major play productions each year. These ac4 tivities are examples of the practical experiences which the speech department offers the student in addition to the training received in the regular classes. The students in speech correction deal with persons with speech problems, seeking to improve the speech sounds which will enable the person to communicate better. The students meet with their cases for half hour therapy ses- sions twice a week. During the sessions, speech games are used to drill the individual in speech sounds. The planning of these activities tests the originality and ingenuity of the student. William Castle, lnstructor in Speech Correction: James House, Assistant Professor of Speech.
