worcfa writlen and Jpoken a.44ume Today, as in times past, man's chief means of communication is the spoken and the written word, Success in business and cultural growth de- pend an our ability to transmit our own thoughts and ideas and to under- stand those of others. ln seeking to develop this faculty in its students, Walnut Hills offers several courses in speech and iournalism. Capable speakers are in constant demand in the classroom, on the stage, in radio, and on the debator's platform. The assurance and poise gained in such public appearances is invaluable. Classes in oral expression prepare us to accept such opportunities as they arise. Newspapers and magazines wield tremendous influence in our modern world in supplying information and shaping public opinion. Those of us who take iournalism realize that a free press with full coverage of current events is necessary in a democracy. Factual reporting, concise wording, and technical data required in making an attractive page are studied in this course. School publications put the knowledge thus gained to practical use. Then we more fully realize the practical sides of iournalism-deadlines, responsibility, and hard work. 1 -f LEFT: Miss Wilma Hutchison, English, Mrs. Katherine Lappa, English, Miss Etta O'Hara, English.
