Professional Training in Public Speaking 13
A row of well-groomed men sit and hold their fingertips against their chests, presumably during a breathing exercise. They grin with self-conciousness as they perform the instructed action. The setting is a class in public speaking given by Staley.
It is interesting to note the men's clothing. Suits, sometimes three-piece, were apparently de riguer for white collar businessmen in the mid-20th century.
