Seuenty-eight THE XAVERIAN NVEWS Effective Speaking Class This class believes it has set a record for the year I922. Very few students were absent during the sessions. The class is finishing the year with practically all the members it began with. 1 The class has been successful in every respect, and the teacher and students are both delighted with the year's work. A number of the members have already declared their intention to returh to the class next year. Mr. J. E. O'Conhel, who is teacher of the class, pre- sided over all the sessions in a very capable manner. He not only gave the stiidents a thorough knowledge of the rudiments of Public Speaking, but also a great deal of information about thirlgs, which will prove very helpful to them in future years. l The routine of clhss work was made most interesting, and was arranged in siich a way that the students could not allow their interest to lag one moment. Mr. O'Connel fre- quently commented on the weekly talks of the students of the class. He also congratulated the class on the interesting subjects on which they spoke. Many interesting Pccurrences took place in the class sessions. Amongst these were: the recitation of some Afa- mous addresses; the rieading of essays by members of the class on some phase of public speaking; and debates. which were held quite freque tly. One of the most interesting cle- bates was that on the much argued question, HResolved, That Capitol Punishiiient Should Be Abolished. The affirmative was represented by Messrs. Chas. Zumbiel anal Joseph Guenther. The negative side of the question was upheld by Messrs. Louis Argus and Huth. After..both sides had argued the question for some time it was left to a vote of the students of the class to decide which side had won. The vote of the students resulted in a tie, and then our distinguished teacher stepped in and awarded the victory to the negative. Mr. Louis Argus was elected class president. By his continual effort he has always kept our class in the limelight at St. X. His recent effort in behalf of the annual banquet was responsible for the wonderful showing the class made in the number that were represented there. Another member of the class whom we are proud of is Mr. Huth. He is the proud father of four strapping boys. The talks which he gave the students of the class Were always highly appreciated, amongst them being the great subject of youthful love, and marriedrlife. Mr. Huth also has a penchant for talking about ice machines. One of the boys of the class soon won fame. We doubt if there is anyone in the school of C. 61 S. :who has not heard of the wonderful account which Walter Schlichte gave us of l'How a tire is made. He also has a habit for reciting childish poems, among these being, The boy 'stood on the burning deck eating taters by the peck. One of the pleasures of belonging to our class was the fact that we had the pleasure of associating with a fellow of the caliber of Albert Eckes. We believe that if a prize were awarded for the most polite boy Al would certainly win it. Among the members of our class were Charles, Robert and Richard Zumbiel. These three boys live way down in Erlanger. and have hardly missed a class session. We think that they are worthy of praise on this account. There is quite a mystery about Charles. The rumor is out that he is a married man, but all the girls in the class are hoping that this is not true. Some one whispered in our ear that Bob has suddenly found a liking for going to Oakley, but we believe there is a reason. Miss Meyers, who is Secretary of our class, is con- nected with the Covington Red Cross,l and has told of in- teresting incidents which occurred in her social work. An- other distinguished member of our class is Miss Steinhauer. who is superintendent bf Spears Hospital. By her kind and loving ,ways she has endeared herself .to all of us. Miss Fay nad Miss Neyer are the roses of our class. and were quite responsible for the spirit of good will which was always to be found in the class. l l The sweetest member of our class;-tno it's not one of the ladieslais Joe Guenther. For references apply to any of his numerous young lady friends. But seriously, he does delight in making our mouths water with tales of the manufacturing of candy. His genial personality has en- deared him to all the students of C. 8: S. He was also very active in the student activities of the last year. He was a member of the Banquet Committee, and has done a great deal to make this class more public and successful.
