Lip Reading Is Unusual Hobby Of Home Economics Senior
"I see a lot of things that other people miss," Kathleen McKinney, home economics senior, said today when asked about her unusual hobby of lip reading.
"When my sister and I were very young the importance of proper enunciation was impressed upon us. This was the only way of communicating with our neighbors, a man and his wife who were both deaf and dumb."
Miss McKinney learned to talk with her hands in order to converse with and know this couple. She says she cannot remember when she learned the art of lip reading, but recalls childhood games invented to stimulate its practice.
People say both amusing and curious things when they feel there is no danger of being overheard.
"It's a lot of fun at basketball games" she remarked, "and helps time pass while waiting for the game to begin."
The average talker doesn't realize that someone across the room might be reading his lips.
Since her arrival at the University, there has been little opportunity to make much use of her talent, except to entertain herself and her friends. She finds that people are curious about this hobby and that her talent has proved itself an "ice-breaker" in any group.
