-me Students of the Menard English classes are moved toward one primary goal, the precise expression of ideas. The faculty feels that without a broad knowl- edge of English, the student can not fully express him- self in other subjects. This makes English one of the most important subjects at Menard. Equipping the student with the ability to convey his ideas efficiently is the aim of the grammar course. The grammar course puts the accent on clarity in writing and speech. Word Power was introduced last year not only to broaden the students' vocabulary, but also to develop an interesting way to express one's views. Another function of the Word Power course is to strengthen spelling, and to secure accuracy in pronunciation. Literature, the works of other English masters, is a guide to the student in his own creative writing. In the Summer reading program the student re- tains an acquaintance with authors and their works and continues to build on the foundation laid during the school year. ! I 3, . . . 7 A M.-f .
