at James River works on a quiz. A vigorous program of English is stressed at James River High School. Students are of- fered six courses of English consisting of an English class for each of the five grades and an Advanced English course for seniors. The study of English involves more than gram- mar and vocabulary. A student must also learn to reason through his idea and to ex- press it clearly and concisely in words— a challenge to anyone. The English language is a tool, but a tool that must be used by a skilled worker. Then it becomes more than a form of communica- tion— it becomes beauty embodied in words and phrases. Bobby Hunter reads one of his compositions to the Advanced English class. 25
