Language is our way of telling others the thoughts, hopes, ideas, opinions, fears, ioys, and any other feelings or expressions that we may have. Learning to express these emotions simply and clearly is the main purpose of the English course. A study of grammar, spelling, and vo- cabulary is given as a background for English composition. Creative writings are put on a com- petitive basis, and difterent contests are open to Herita Miss Hollingsworth, a student teacher, gets practice in direct- ing a class in American Litera- ture in Room 103. the students throughout the year. We usually spend one semester on our basic grammar and composition. This enables us to write more eas- ily and accurately. The remaining part of our course consists of all types of literature. We read and compose poems, essays, short stories, and themes. We become acquainted with new authors and renew old favorites, both romantic and classical. Up- English Department.

eaches Us to Cherish Our Literary nd to Improve Our Own Expression to-date methods of teaching, such as audio and visual education, help us better to appreciate the finer and more complex literature. Reading, being an enioyable and interest- ing pastime, is also promoted by our teachers. They help us to choose the right type of books, and introduce us to some of the more esteemed authors. Oral and written reports give us a much welcomed opportunity to put our grammatical knowledge into practice. We are now more accomplished English stu- dents and better able to cope with new ideas.
