To take a nationwide census of

One of the Greatest Values of Pub
lie Speaking.

One of the greatest benefits which
Public Speaking holds out to the
student is the practice of being sim
ere to himself. There is no other
subject which gives the student a
greater opportunity for bringing to
light his own personality. Since
he is bound to the textbook only
as far as the technique of Public
Speaking is concerned, he is free
to use his originality and inventive
ness or, to express himself.
The student is especially urged to
be original in the construction of
speeches. He is encouraged to de-
velop his w ideas in a new way,
drawing upon his own store of
words. In fact, he makes the
speech that he has written essential
ly a part of himself.
Another very important outlet
for the personality of the student
is upon the platform. His bearing,
his attitude toward the audience,
and his delivery are all expressions
of the student himself, since he is
warned against assuming a false
personality for the occasion.
Since personality is such a valu-
able asset in the business and social
world, the student who studies Pub
lie Speaking is equipping himself
for real life, for this study aids
him in finding his personality which
might otherwise have remained un-
DEVELOPED. 1t also instills in the
mind of the student the significance
of Shakespeare's beautiful lines
"To thine ownself be true and il
must follow as the night the day
thou eanst not then be false to any
man."

Freshmen Teachers and Students
Have Good Time at Class Party.

The freshmen had a party last
Friday evening, January 27, at the
Washington School Auditorium.
The program was divided into
three parts, an indoor track meet,
refreshments and dancing. At eight
the games began. The persons
present were divided into four
groups to represent high schools.
Keen competition was noticeable at
the games with each school roofing
it's entries to victory. One of these
contests was the Endurance Race.
Ten representatives were chosen
from each group and each person
was given a cracker. They were
then lined up and the first one be-
gan eating his or her cracker.
When they finished eating the crack
ers they would whistle and then
the next one in line would start
eating and SO on down the line.
The group that finished first was
the winner. The refreshments
(which consisted of ice cream
were served to the delight of all
those present. Then the dancing
was opened when the orchestra

lightful dances. Eleven o'clock
