Literature, creative expression, both oral 3l1Cl written, and the funda- mental language habits and skills combine to form the foundation for the English courses. Classroom reading, supplemented by the students' choice of reading matter, is designed for enjoyment and appreciation. Through literature is developed a line understanding of the ideals of living in a democratic society. Through the medium of creative expression, students are encouraged to share their views and talents, several of them having their poems pub- lished in the National High School Poetry Anthology and other magazines. Participation in the XVI-IEC junior Town Meeting of the Air, and the XVBEN Radio Forum, as well as-classroom discussions, provide abundant opportunity for self expression. To express themselves clearly and vividly, the students are taught correct and effective sentence construction, and extraction of thought' from the printed page.

It is developed through the planning and construction of projects ot interest to pupils, discussions, observations and readings related to in- dustry. Through the medium of tools and materials, it provides an oppor- tunity for creative expression. It is necessary for the young pupil to keep pace with the current trends, and new developments in the world around him. In the various homemaking classes the girls are given an opportunity to learn the basic sewing skills, wardrobe planning, simple meal preparation, personality development, care of the home, child care and successful family living. In the art department the students are taught mechanical drawing and fine arts. Craft work, as weaving, leather work, and some metal work, is taught so that each student can discover what work he enjoys doing best. Page 10 The 1.951 O at kan of

Three years of Latin are offered and three years of Spanish. Students gain an appreciation of the lives, customs, and language of the people of ancient days in the one, or of the other, people of the Ameri- cas or Spain today. It is by study and understanding of the ways of life of other people that we begin to develop a better appreciation of our own way of life. At Le Roy Central School, our science offerings are General Science, Health, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. These courses are taught to give the students the basic principles of scientific study. On the foundation of these studies can be erected the super- structures of many professions and careers. However, the primary thought of this work is to bring science into a closer relationship with each of our everyday lives. Book learning and practical laboratory application join to form the scientific team. This team can aid in fitting each of us for more useful lives, in this present scientific age.
