Speech classes this year have reflected the current problems created by a new world of Peace. In MRS. HARRIETT MUELLER'S classes we carried on spirited debates and dis- cussions on such subjects as universal military training and atomic bomb control. Each week two students met with Jefferson and St. Francis representatives for panel discussions on WBAA. For the first time since the outbreak of the war., we were able to attend the state oration contest at Terre Haute. Page 9

Zwlitfb Four years of English being required for grad- uation in our high school, we spend much time in the west end, first floor of the building, lcarn- ing to read, write, spell, speak under the direc- tion of MISS RUTH SINKS and MRS. HAR- HIETT MUELLER, or as sophomores under MR. HOWARD EVANS.
