gym. Mr. Monahan teaches social
studies, English, arts and crafts,
health, and physiology. Mr. Ya
kymi teaches social studies, Eng
lish, science, and math. They
are preparing their students to

“The rules for after game
dances have been revised this
year. The admittance policy is
designed to prohibit entry of un
authorized students,” stated John
Stuckey, activities director.
“Sponsorship of the dances is
alloted to major school organiza
tions, and the profit from
dances,” continued Mr. Stuckey,
“goes to the sponsoring groups’
treasury.
“In past years,” stated Mr.
Stuckey, “we’ve been using live
bands that are selected by the
students of the sponsoring group.
Juniors attend graduate course
to improve public speaking skill
Juniors Jane Nichols and John
Luik took a graduate speech
course in rhetorical problem
solving at the University of
Portland this summer. “They
did quite well,” praised George
Gerber, a co-student.
The other five members
of the class were graduate
students, including Mr. Ger
ber. “Jane and I felt out
of place at first. They were
very nice and treated us as
equals,” said John. “When
we first went there, we
were really scared—petri
fied is a good word for it—
but after a few days we
felt like part of the class,”
agreed Jane.
The class atmosphere was
“really relaxed,” according to
Jane, and “we talked a lot.”
“He (instructor Paul Melhuish)
would ask questions and discuss
various points in class,” said
John.
“Basically, the purpose
was to become better speak
ers in the public forum,”
said Jane. The class met
three hours a week, five
days a week.
Each student gave three
speeches, one persuasive, one in
formative, and one argumenta
tive, according to John. “The
first one was so the class could
get to know you. You gave per
sonal beliefs so the class could
see where you stood on certaim
issues,” stated Jane.
John’s speeches were about
birth control and capital junish-
ment. Jane also spoke about
birth control, besides discussing
patriotism and human equality.
Each class member evaluated
the others’ work, using a cri
tique sheet issued by the in
structor.
Both juniors were in Robert
Gerber’s English class last year.
He told them about the speech
workshop he was to attend, and
asked if they would like to go
also. “He wrote to the dean of
admissions and talked to him,”
said Jane. “We wrote a letter
telling why we wanted to take
it,” added John.
Jane and John will be in sen
ior forensics this year. Because
of their experience this summer
they are allowed to skip the
usual first year.
After game dances run from
9:15-11 p.m.”
Rules for Grant Dances
Only Grant students with student
body cards or properly registered guests
will be admitted.
Guests must be registered in room
120 prior to the day of the dance.
Guests must be of the opposite sex
of the Grant student. Only one guest
per student will be admitted.
Guests must accompany his or her
Grant date while entering the dance.
No student may leave the dance and
return in the same evening,
No student will be admitted to the
dance if there is any evidence of his
or her having been drinking an alco
holic beverage.
School dress code will be followed at
all dances.
“The reason dances are per
mitted at Grant is two-folcL,”
said Mr. Stuckey. “One reason is
for student entertainment. The
other is to practice mature citi
zenship in a social environment.”
