Reading, writing, and speaking are everyday needs. But these three essentials are not the only facets of grammatical learning. English extends from the dia- graming of a complex sentence to the read- ing of a Shakespearean drama, from the writing of a research theme to the reciting of The Raven . MTHS students study English each year so that they may com- municate easier in the changing world around them. To actually understand foreign people and their customs, one must have a work- ing knowledge of their language. Three years of French is taught in ascending levels of grammar, mechanics, conversa- tion, and reading. It would be hard to write a research theme or to learn anything if one didn't have books. But one cannot have every book he needs. The library is a store- house of encyclopedias, novels, and books of all descriptions. It is an arsenal of written works. Communication, however, does not end with the spoken and written word but includes a third language. This third lan- guage is music, the universal language . Music has been said to be 'that undefinable link between countries, between cultures, and between peoples. ' Mrs W Comstock Mrs. W, Lillard Study H111 X Librarian . rx .
