Qs Discovering the intricacies of the proper use of the telephone is a serious yet interesting fea- ture of the speech class for Steve Srubas, Margie Muntner, and Bonnie Britzke. CGNVEYING TRUE PERSONALITIES Speech helps our students convey their true personality and feelings in a precise, orderly fashion. The Speech Department at St. Mary gives students excellent chances to study projection, hand and eye move- ment, and audience reaction. These are only some of the ways in which students can better their speech hab- its and gain self-conhdence. Public speaking deals with those students who have perfected their speech abil- ities and are now striving for perfec- tion in such facets as prose and po- etry reading, debate, oratory, public address, and a new feature, choral speaking. The Speech Department, through these programs, encourages competition among students thus stimulating their interest in them- selves, the community, and the world. Expression refiects his determination as Tom Jape tries to convince his audience that It's not what you say but how you say it.

The history courses at St. Mary have taken on new dimensions. Not only do the stu- dents study and explore the past, they also discuss the present situations and their effects on the future. World history students relive the .days when the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome flourished. They tOur the ma- jestic castles of the medieval kings and observe the budding of the period when knighthood was in flower. American his- tory students, nearer in time and in more familiar surroundings, link America's ac- cidental discovery by Columbus, its cou- rageous beginnings with Washington, and itsirise to a world power under Wilson, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. The latest ad- dition to the history department, world affairs, adopts the theme that today's news is tomorrow's history. Students apply this to their critical analysis of the present world situation. Sociology awakens the students to their rights and duties, not only as citizens of the United States, but also as children of God. Betty Herres' talk on her homeland of Haiti arouses the wonder, amuse- ment, and interest of Christopher Klein, David Mix, and Tom Godhardt Noreen Kaiser, Ken Fritsch, and Mike Gage remain calm, though caught up in a, world-wind of affairs.
