PONDER1NGS Teachers Employ New English Visual Aids Through the study of grammar, the English Department helps students communicate more intelligently in speaking and in writing. Through studying literature, the department hopes to develop within the student a better understanding of himself and an appreciation for our cultural heritage. This year the English Department has some new equipment including record players, overhead projectors, and filmstrip projectors. With this new equipment, the department is trying to make the study more interesting through the use of visual aids and of record players.
