BUT WE H VE MANY CHOICES In addition to required English courses, classes in which a student may hnd self-expression in writing and speaking are offered as electives. Speech courses offer training in planning, writing, and giving speeches. A member in the second-year, advanced speech class is au- tomatically a member of Speakers' Bureau. Members of this organization give speeches at public functions, such as P.T.O., as well as introducing and taking part in school pro- grams. Dramatics class is available to any student who is interested in directing, staging, or act- ing. The teenagers participating in this class learn to pantomime and read monologues. They study current plays and playwrights, be- coming familiar with the leading dramatists of today. journalism students learn many phases of newspaper work, such as typography, copy- reading and newswriting. They also learn the business procedures connected with publica- tions by selling advertisements and subscrip- tions. First-year students gain valuable ex- perience by writing the High Lights column that appears in the rllfflllllll' every Friday. This experience is put to good use by those who con- tinue through the second year of journalism and become responsible for editing the school newspaper, Higlz life. On the Air holds more suspense for members of Speakers Bureau this year than ever before because of tho realistic radio set-up in the new speech department. REAR-D. Rees, M. Littman, C. Smith, J.
