English, Speech and Dramag Mrs. Bessie Phillips-Sophomore English. Everybody takes English every year Qand some more than thatj. As we are often told, English relates to every- thing else. One can't be good in his field if he can't express himself clearly with good grammar. Each class has a vocabulary book, a grammar study, four novels, and a literature book. American literature is studied in Ju- nior English and English literature is studied the Senior year. Included in the English Department is an interesting course in speech and drama.
