Our public speaking classes were finished but by this time we were committed to it and we continued as a group for three more years. I think in that time we must have spoken about every subject under the sun. One I remember particularly was a speech on smells. Our speaker brought us on an imaginary tour of our city and spoke of the coffee shops, the smell of the river, the brewery and the scent of the grass in the public parks. In fact he had us all sniffing in our seats. Real life then intervened and our group broke up to go their various ways but each and every one of us had a lifelong commitment to public speaking and we all listened to other speakers and mentally gave them marks out of ten or so we confessed when we had occasional get-togethers.
