A i ,,.L . f 3 k,.- A5 f Rosemary Chase In order to introduce to Edison students the literary wealth of their rich heritage, the works of masters of the Written word from ancient Greece to twentieth century Amer- ica are surveyed. American literature re- ceives emphasis in the tenth grade, Eng- lish literature in the eleventh, and world literature in the twelfth. Elective English courses provide a challenging variety for those with special interests. These include speech, debate, creative writing, yearbook, and journalism. Composition and grammar are taught at each grade level in order that students may acquire correct usage, a more extensive vocabulary, and learn to analyze ideas and improve their reading, Writing, listening, and speaking abilities.

Foreign Languages ,, ,A Virgil Poulter, Spanish teacher, demonstrates our new foreign language laboratory. The foreign language department at Edison high school has made great advances in the application of the most effective tech- niques in language learning. The six-year program enables a student to begin the study of Spanish or French as early as the seventh grade and to continue in the same language to his senior year. The department is also making full use of a modern new electronic laboratory in which the student has the privacy of an individual booth with microphone, headphones, and listening- recording facilities. The lab is one of the better facilitated sections in the school and one in which Edison students may take pride. t X N. N ,,V, p Q.. me Q isre W lilo fl t ii M l t fyilf Leif' f,, - W r 'ia ,..

Junior high English lays a foundation to the studies that people as senior high students will have to complete before entering college. There- fore, the subject matter to be taught is thorough- ly gone over, then care- fully administered to the classes. The advanced English system carried out at Edison is some- thing of which the Eng- lish department may be justly proud.
