To achieve this goal members of the department conducted a program ranging from basic to polished skills. After receiving basic grammar in junior high, students continued a progressive program climaxed in their senior year with a rigorous study of vocabulary. This year creative writing was offered to students who wished to develop proficiency in writing.
