ENGLISH DEPARTMENT “To be or not to be (a graduate), that is the question.” Those famous lines of Shakespeare express the thoughts of many students who wish to graduate, realizing that English is a very necessary step to- ward diploma. Two most important steps to be taken are the senior themes and the perfect-copy tests. Once these are past and grades seem acceptable, seniors look forward peacefully to June 5. As well as Shakespeare, other writers are studied, their works read and analyzed. Students themselves are encouraged to write also in regular English classes as well as in the advanced Creative Arts and Humanities classes. These advanced class- es are designed to give exceptional stu- dents a broader knowledge of the fine arts. The best student writings are included in the Quill and Scroll” each year. MRS. ELIZABETH GREENE MRS. JANE BLAND English Department. Chairman Mrs. Carpenter and Miss Proctor discussed teaching the skills of English. 16

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union ... do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.” So begins the most influential document in the his- tory of the United States. Students in the Social department recognize the import- ance of this historical document. Partici- pation in these courses is needed to enable students to become adapted better to their enviroment, to promote personal develop- ment in these fields, and to establish effective relationships with their fellow man. Every student at Jordan took American History, for it was the required discipline of this department. Other elective courses are World History, World Geography. American Government, Sociology, and Economics. These subjects were designed to enable students to broaden their know- ledge of social studies.
