English instructors: Frank L. Mad- den, Miss Margaret West. Miss Mabel Johnstone, and Miss Jose- phine Mirfield as they set up pro- tection equipment. ENGLISH Through conversation and literature, the nations of the world can become better known to one an- other. A thorough knowledge of one’s own lan- guage is basic in this plan. The English courses in our high school provide this knowledge. Two years of English are required for gradua- tion. This includes one basic year in tenth grade, and one elected course. This may be chosen in American, English, or recent literature, or in busi- ness English. American literature is the study of our prose and poetry from the time of the colo- nies to the present. The writing of the Anglo- Saxons through modern English writers are studied in the English literature course. Looking up matetial for English lit- erature projects are Dick Hanneman, Saucy Hall, Lorraine Pinnou, and Elsie Daduian. 14
