COMMUNICATE AND U DERSTAN Today, because communication is so vi'al to our so- eety, language study is tast becoming a must to many students. ln a language course, many other things are stressed besides language fundamentals, themselves, for stu- dents learn much ot the native people and their coun- try. A new addition to the language department this year was third year French and Spanish. This gave many students a chance to become more proficient in the language ot their choice.

NATIVE LEARN NATIVE LA GUAGE Proper development of one's own lan- guage is truly a necessity in this world of communication. Thus, the study of English is stressed throughout school, giving us basic rules and ideas with which to speak and write more efficiently. ln the seventh and eighth grades, fund- amentals of English are implanted as a basis for future study. Along with a review of English grammar, which is stressed in all higher grades, introductory works of literature are studied in the ninth grade. Throughout senior high, English and Ameri- can literature are studied respectively. Stu- dents also tackle vocational themes, auto- biographies and term reports as annual ac- tivities for specific grades. In these various ways the English Department strives to at- tain a thorough knowledge of our native language for every student LE CURRY B.A. M.A. . o . . of Iowa- English.
