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

The courses in creative writing and journalism offer excellent op- portunities for one to try his hand at writing. They are also valuable in acquiring additional skill in the use of English. In creative writing the students compose poetry, short stories, and skits for many purposes. The journalism curriculum deals with the writing of news stories and the study of modern newspapers’ composition. The courses in English give every student a thorough back- ground which will help him in later life, for without the ability to understand the views of others, and to express one’s own ideas clearly, we cannot hope to carry on a democracy. Dick McGlauthen. Carol Linder, Hob Bryan, and Shirley Mangels present an original skit for a creative writing class. linglish instructors: Miss Hortense Pinch, Miss Evelyn Callendar, Aliss Claire Labi sky, and Miss fane Schmitz. 15
