Struggle h urfs, impairs speech After a i'difficult year, the Speech and Forensics program survived trials and tribulations, according to Wayne Read, speech adviser. When the speech students were introduced to their speech adviser, they had no idea what they were getting into. An active instructor, Mr. Read got the students moving toward a speech-perfect vocabulary and jargon. I have always wanted to be a teacher, said Mr. Read. lt always attracted me. When l was with the California Highway Patrol, l got the experience of talking with students about safety and the like. I realized then exactly how much l wanted to be a teacher. Mr. Read said that speech was as important in education as any other part of it. 'tltflany jobs require people to communicate effectively. Not only should they know English, but they should be able to speak it correctly, said Mr. Read. ln Mr. Read's eyes, Tokay Speech and Forensics was still progressing-attempting to become outstanding. There was no sustained development program, but we were working toward that. Tokay's speech program did well with Mr. Read, who commented that the students had some success. Freshman Bernice Hodges, sophomore Stacey Robles, and senior Eric Perez all vvon certificates in C and B League tournaments. However, Mr. Read had trouble building the speech program to such an exeptional level. He tried to have a speech tournament at Tokay, but the whole thing fell through. lThe tournament orga- nizersi just didn't want to have it here, said Mr. Read. Mr. Read, however, said that Tokay was an exceptional institution with many talented students, and that he was happy to work at such a school. Senior Philip Canada said, flVlr. Readl really- cares about the students, but unfortunately, he gets little cooperation from them. Canada added, ln order to excel in the class, you must enjoy it-take it seriously. Then you can gain the talent to speak well in front of others. by C. Todd Barnes photos by Sally Limbaugh 3.
