Abstract
Students anticipate moving on to junior high. On their first day of "secondary school", they are told about the athletic program, the music program, and the candy and magazine sales for the new band uniforms. This is the beginning of their introduction into the extra-curricular life of every school di strict. Where are those people who represent our field of interest? Where are those teachers who direct school plays, teach drama courses, coach the debate teams, get students ready for speech contest, train students in mime, direct readers' theater? The people who were trained to be secondary school teachers of speech and drama are nowhere to be seen. They are at the senior high school working with those who are in grades 10-12. Maybe there is an English teacher who has been assigned to direct a one-act play for the junior high, assigned that job by virtue of having taken an acting course during undergraduate days.
