A good background of English fundamentals is essential not only for professional people, but also for the skilled workman in his daily usage of his native tongue. The language department imparts to each student that foundation he needs to express himself in his chosen role.

'A' 'A' 'A' Soft spoken Miss Mottey prepared seniors for the all important task of writing term papers. English literature and grammar made life more interesting under her tutelage. As the Courant advisor, she taught two classes of journalism. Junior English and social science were Miss Mutter's special fields. A dramatic whiz, she found time to stage those memorable assem- blies and class plays. The head of the English department, most ex- acting Mr. Olson, taught senior English and pub- lic speaking. He expertly coached the Debate Club to many wins in their favor. Mrs. Schoch, a word-lover herself, aroused 'A' t 'A' i i 'A' 'ir 'k 'k i' 'A' an appreciation of them and of American litera- ture in her iunior English students. Very enthusi- astic about the Mardi Gras, Mrs. Schoch advised the Circus Club. A bonita senorita, lovely Miss Smith in- cited an interest in the language of our Spanish neighbors. Spanish students hope to put their knowledge to good use in their travels someday. Mrs. Smith kept her classes lively and inter- esting for the sophomores. Her methods of teaching helped her students improve their read- ing, writing, and speaking. Knitting and cro- cheting in her club added many pleasurable hours to the year for its members. Sound your French ul Against a background of colorful travel posters, French I students Mary Claire McNearny, Jim Simmons and Carole Wolfe tried to please their instructor with their pronunciation. Gene Foster, Barb Bolton and Tony Chiarelli re- ceived some special tutoring from Miss Mottey about Chaucer and Spenser. They tried to ignore the bi- monthly vocabulary words on the blackboard. The tiles in Miss Mottey's room held a wealth of information! Pete Gardner hunted for part of his jour- nalism assignment while Joe Girard waited his turn to get his book report. Mrs. Schoch's English classes were engrossed in short stories. Nancy Maxwell received an interpreta- tion, Jon Peterson and Donna Sundahl discussed a ques- tion. Bill Nick was smiling-he must have had an idea! Seventeen . .
