4 BHS Graduation Speakers Named
http://digital.olivesoftware.com/olive/apa/sturgis/sharedview.article.aspx?href=DPLTR%2F1973%2F05%2F31&id=Ar01201&sk=026E55FF&viewMode=image
Four seniors have been selected to speak at Barnstable High School graduation ceremonies Sunday.
The speakers, all members of the BHS speech team, are Jennie Hatfield, Ann Leiman, John Cross and Diane Forte. Their speeches are, respectively, "The Road Not Taken,': "Graduation - a Beginning, Not an End," "Winning," and "Civilized Man."
Senior Class President Chris Teel will welcome the guests at the ceremonies to be held at the BHS football field at 3 pm.
In the event of rain, the ceremonies will be held in the school gym at 3:30. Originally, the Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink was scheduled as the rainy day site, but it has been ruled unsafe by Hyannis Fire Chief Clough and the state fire marshal, according to Acting Principal Dr. T. Walter Wannie.
The four speeches were selected in a run-off last Wednesday and judged by a panel which included speech coach Mr. Richard Warren, Dr. Wannie, English Department Chairman Mrs. Catherine Towey, debate team coach Miss Ellen Snow, speech teacher Mr. Leonard Gobiel and English teacher, Mr. Russell Fales. The panel decided on all four speeches when it was not able to decide on just three, the traditional number of graduation speakers.
The four students are members of the BHS chapter of the National Forensic League, a speech organization.
Two of the students, Jennie Hatfield and John Cross, have received the highest award possible in that organization, and both are officers of the BHS chapter, John as president, and Jennie as secretary.
The four also have been active speaking at many community and school events.

"What happened after the Cub Scout Banquet?"
"That would have been in March of 1965 . . . "
"Here's something! First published April 1965 -- "
"Louis Jacobucci, Casework Treatment of the Neglectful Mother."
"Families in Society: The Journal of Contemporary Social Services, Volume 46, Issue 4."
"Oh, look! They had references!"
“The Protective Service Caseworker: How Does He Survive Job Pressures?”
“Use of Homemaker Service in Families That Neglect Their Children."
“The Team Approach in Protective Service.”
"Character Disorders in Parents of Delinquents."
"There's more."
"That's OK."
Presently . . .
"Loneliness and Isolation in Child Neglect."
"Dispositional Empathy in Neglectful Mothers and Mothers at High Risk for Child Physical Abuse."

"In ...
"What?!"
"I didn't say anything."
"How can you say such a thing?"
"I'm not going through this again."
"What do you mean?"
"All this -- denial. I'm done. I'm just going to say exactly what happened as I remember it."
"It never happened!"
"The reason I know it happened is that I renember it. I was eight years old. My brother was twelve years old. I was able to recover the date because I remember at some point in the week preceding the event, our father for some reason had told us, I'm going to be speaking at the Unitarian Church this Sunday at 11:00. It did not seem weird to me at the time, because he was always out of the house anyway. Plus all he used to when he was home was harangue me, so good."
"You lie."
"In fact, I remember thinking, it made sense that he would get something going on Sundays, because that was the only time he was ever even around anymore. Weekdays he was working, of course, and weeknights he was always at one of his many, many important community activities."
"You are delusional."
"Then, I found this article, and it all ...
"I have a thesis. My thesis is: In any woman's life, having children would have to be the most significant event. So, in my mother's story -- "
"Her family wasn't really any different from any of the other families."
"Yes."
"In what way?"
"She and her husband were both very active in community affairs. Both her children went to school."
"What else?"
"They were both boys?"
"Anything else?"
"No. That's it."
"So you said, that one way in which your mother's family wasn't really any different from any of the other families, was that she and her husband were both very active in community affairs. Can you tell me a little more about that?"
"Oh, sure. There was always something going on. Cub Scouts, she was like Den Mother of her older son's Cub Scout Pack. Pack 54. Plus the Comedy Club. Plus I'm pretty sure, she was involved in the kindergarten. She and her husband both. And politics. It was the Sixties."
"Just normal 60's Mom stuff."
"In any case, it's time to forget the past."
