Under the direction of Ellen O ' Drain the Suzi Applegate and Denny Deeter read their parts to a play that they will later act out in Dramatics. The fine points of acting and drama are taught by Mr. Briggs, who also sponsors the Senior Play. Howe ' s English teachers, under the able direction of Miss Ellen O ' Drain, new department head, have had a busy year. The debate and speech teams, coached by Mr. Briggs of the English department, have a full schedule of events. The debate team has five all day meets and nine meets held after school. Debaters must be prepared to take both a negative and an affirmative stand on the debate topic which is: Re- solved: That Nuclear Weapons Should Be Controlled By An International Organization. Speech team members, just as busy as debaters, enter competition in various fields of speech. They are judged on content, delivery, poise and effectiveness. Both teams end the season with Section, Regional, and Final Meets. This was the first year for the television program, Great Books Discussion. Students selected from the 7AP English class discussed a poem by Wordsworth over the air with no group discussion beforehand. This group was led by Mr. Bruce Beck of the English Department. 16
