Z+iCfliiU Who is your English teacher? This excited cry can always be heard ringing through the halls of J. H. S. early in September, because, after all, what subject is more important than the study of one's native language? No matter who the teacher, however, grammar and literature in senior high have come a long way from the days of the original three ''R's. The ap- plication of audio-visual education in the way of movies and recordings is being used more extensively in the study of English literature from the Anglo- Saxon Age up to the Twentieth Century. All who have the opportunity will experience a new thrill in watching “Hamlet and “Macbeth on the screen. Because of their ability to interpret the many details of the picture, Shakes- peare's England is brought closer to those of the trained mind. Investigative themes—one time horror of all seniors—have been made a more worthwhile and interesting project through writing them by the work- shop method. Public speaking, too, is actually fun because the talks are given in the form of panel discussions, book reviews, monologues and sketches. Tommy Television is happy to report that under the supervision of Miss Mary Glenn, the English Department of Johnstown High School is ably taking it place in our modern world.
