Miss Cape SPEECH The Speech Department includes two teachers, Miss Cape and Mrs. Felten. To train the student for any kind of speak- ing that he may be asked to do is the aim of a course in speech. Two semesters of Speech are offered, the first dealing with the fundamentals of speech, and the second including debates and longer speeches. The mechanism and use of the voice, interpretative reading, parliamentary practice, and etiquette are also included in speech work. This semester one hundred and twenty-three students in their second semester of Speech participated in nineteen de- bates dealing with current questions. These debates were judged as to correctness of data and the manner of delivery. Debating is an interesting way of presenting before an aud- ience arguments for and against some current problem. Humorous dramatic readings or orations were presented by each Student before his class. The idea that the speaker was talking with those in the audience was always stressed. Ex- t emporaneous and impromptu speeches were also delivered by the students. A speech recital, composed of various phases of class work, was presented by the Speech Depart- ment at the end of May. On Jan. 20 the play In the Zone won the inter-class dramatics tourna- ment with the following cast: Smitty, Howard Stacey; Davis, TeJ Savides; Olson, Calvin Peck; Scotty, Fred Cape; Ivan. Kenneth Mowry. Yank. Morris Shovers; Driscoll, Ray Topping; Cocky, Arthur Reesnes; Paul. Eugene Apple.

DRAMATICS All dramatics students, numbering some one hundred and thirty are instructed by Miss Cape. The purpose of the Dramatics Department is to present to the students the fun- damental principles necessary to acting and play production. Two semesters of dramatics are offered, during which both text book work and acting are done. The stage areas, the art of make-up, and various bits of information useful to the adta ' i are studied. This year all students in their first semester of dramatics were placed in casts which presented one act plays before their respective classes. A dramatics tournament was also held during the last year in which three dramatics classes competed, each class presenting a play. The plays were given during three assemblies, and at the end In the Zone was -elected as the winner. Medals were given the cast and pro- duction workers in the winning class. A Senior Class play, Little Women, all of whose actors were seniors and whose production workers were taken from the dramatics classes, was presented May 19 under the direction of Miss Cape. Mr- Pelten Little Women was presented with the following cast: Mr March, Rudolph Mikus; Mrs. March, Anita Marcussen; Meg. Mae Lembke; I Dorothy Raftenburg; Beth, Mary Rowlands; Amy, Arliss Larson, Aunt March, Evelyn Matson; Mr. Laurence, Fred Cape. Laurie.
