Students Study Expression and Comprehension in Both Foreign and English Language Classes and Speech Young, active, inquisi- tive minds need a means by which they can express their thoughts and ques- tions. Language study, whether English or foreign, is a media for such worth- while communication— a me- dia which becomes more and more important as our spheres shrink in time and distance, yet expand in cul- ture, thought, and mys- teries. Through rigid theme requirements and in class spontaneous writing. High- land High students receive ample practice in express- ing themselves clearly and quickly. Learning to think on your feet is the main objec- tive of beginning speech, which offers an introduction in extemporaneous speak- ing, debate, dramatic read- ing, and impromptu work. Advanced courses in debate and drama offer specialized concentration for talented and interested students. Realizing the impor- tance of understanding, as well as expressing, students study a variety of both American and English au- thors, forms, and styles. They also experience the foreign elements of litera- ture and language in their French, German, Spanish, and Latin classes.
