AAAA., Marthe Doll is enriching her speaking and writing vocabularies by looking up words in the dictionary. Weekly themes, vocabulary tests, gram- mar tests, parallel reading, endless num- bers of paperback books, book reports, or- al talks-this is English at L.H.S. By reading the great authors and careful study of the classics, one can gain a new perspective of himself and the world around him. One of the greatest rewards of an education is for one to be able to express his thoughts and emotions clear- ly. Written assignments and speeches force students to compose understandable and vivid passages. Open discussions in- duce the development of ideas into words and the free expression of these thoughts. Always foremost is the encouragement of teachers to seek basic life truths. Eng- lish courses provide the necessary learn- ing experiences for these talents and'aims. ENGLISH -LIBRAR Y One of the activities of Mrs. McGoWan's junior Eng- lish classes is reading and studying paperback books. 2
