the diamond key award, the
liighest honor that can be given
to any speech teacher in the
country.
Mrs. Hamilton will receive the
award at the annual N.F.L. meet
held in Nashville, Tennessee.
According to Bruno E. Jacob,
Secretary of the N.F.L., Mrs.
Hamilton is being given the hon­
or because the program of speech
education she is directing is both
broad and excellent.
Those participating are
Cheryl Spencer, Jane Stil­

Schnitzer, Cecil Jenkins,
math teacher, and Loren
Studer, chemistry teacher.
Students were selected by fac­
ulty members, and teachers by

Senior dramateurs present readings
requiring voice changes, movements
Dramatic readings are being
presented to first period Eng­
lish classes by the senior drama­
teurs this week and next.
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.
