Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 31 VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT PUBLIC SPEAKING Orators and orations are now the cause of toil in the Public Speaking class. The members are now polishing their masterpieces, over which, for the past two weeks, they have been wracking their brains for words and phrases equal or better than those of Patrick Henry or Daniel Webster. In the near future the better of these orations will be given before the assembly, and the best will be in the Senior Issue of the Steelhead. A great deal of hard work has been necessary to compose and learn these orations and we feel sure that the best of the class will be represented. In the middle of May, practice will be resumed on the play, "A Case of Suspension", which was postponed from the first of the semester. This class has great hopes for next year. The High school is going to be represented in debate and, with a Public Speaking class with one year's practice, she is going to have a fine chance in the winning of the State championship. - Chester Philips, '21 Submitted by Earline Wasser
