Speech teacher receives award National Forensic league is awarding Mrs. Opal Hamilton the diamond key award, the liighest honor that can be given to any speech teacher in the country.

Those participating are Cheryl Spencer, Jane Stil well, Brian McCune, Martin Schnitzer, Cecil Jenkins, math teacher, and Loren Studer, chemistry teacher.

These readings are ex cerpts from various forms of literary works, such as plays, novels, and poetry. Selections are from the fairy tale “Alice In Wonderland”, the narrative poem “John Brown’s Body”, the unique poetry of “Spoon River Anthology”, and the Spanish novel “Don Qui xote”. Readers’ theatre, as these readings are called, requires the use of a script and can be staged in several differ ent ways: either in a straight line on stools, the use of a definite playing area or the use of the entire stage. Actors in readers’ theatre may take the part of several charac ters by the use of voice change and the individualistic body movements. Lighting, sound ef fect and make-up may also be used. According to Mrs. Betty Fos ter, drama instructor, readers’ theatre is not a new form of en tertainment but a new experi ence for the advanced drama student. “The art of reading dramati cally is a good device, for stu dents. They are learning to in- credits, value course or continue tutoring. If choosing to continue, the student may remain with the same teacher or may change courses. The type of work done by the tutoring assistants will vary ac cording to the indidivual teach ers, but for the most part the course work would entail direct ly helping students in their class work and the usual clerical du ties. This course is open to all students who have a desire and a capacity to help oth ers, regardless of grade point averages. Substituting the Tutorial Assistant course for a study hall now scheduled will be done by the coun selors after application. With the aid of this new course teachers’ time will not be spread as thin as it is now. The student assistants working beside the teachers will enable teachers to spend more time with individual students. “Other high schools have used this method of student-teacher aids, and found them to be very effective. We hope that this new course will be as successful,” stated Gust Kanas, vi,ce-princi- pal in charge of curriculum. Completely removed from the tutoring system currently spon sored by the National Honor So ciety, will be this new course. NHS will continue its tutoring system outside of class time, while this program will operate during class time.
