Freshmen fi c Children's TV programs narrated Samuel Ioseph Butler, fresh- man, has been speaking in public since the age of five. He got his start by making announcements at church where his father was the preacher. His career as a pub- lic speaker consists of three ser- mons, a speech for the Optimist Club, in which he took third place at the Regionals, and narra- tions for television. Samuel began doing television when he was twelve years old. Samuel was making the church announcements at a special ser- vice where Alex Haley, author of Roots, was the guest speaker. In the congregation was Ruby Thompson of Ruby's Small World, a cultural television pro- gram for children. Miss Thomp- son recognized Samuel's ability for public speaking and asked him if he would be interested in narrating her television program. Since that time he has done five of these programs. When asked if he had plans of making his career in public speaking, he replied, No, actual- ly I want to be an astronomer. Right now, I refer to myself as a young philosopher. 1.
