JOHN R. BOND, B.S., Ball State Teachers College; English; Speech Club. One of the most important programs at KHS this year, and for many years, has been that of the English Department. As universities and busi- ness corporations have pleaded constantly for more and better English instruction, the English Department, under the leadership of Miss Eliz- abeth Handley, has responded nobly. This department embraces the school ' s largest single body of teachers. These teachers, besides teaching a full schedule of classes, help around the school in a wide variety of activities — Sargasso, Red and Blue, and dramatics — to name only a fev . As students begin their freshman year they are quickly taught the study of grammar, which helps them in preparation for other assignments. At this time they also begin their study of the classics. Sophomores and juniors, who are yet undecided about future plans, adjust themselves to regular English classes consisting of work-books, classics, and themes. For those who are headed for college the College Preparatory classes are the choice. Here students cover more ground and do more out side projects. 24
