English Opens Doors to Communication At OHS many new subjects have been added to the English Department thus developing it into an extremely interest¬ ing part of an OHS student ' s curriculum. Seniors are offered a semester in the humanities. In this course, discussions along with films and novels are combined for the development of the student ' s in¬ terest in music, literature, drama, art, and philosophy. Seniors are also offered a program of composition to develop a better writing skill. Sophomores have also been subject to a new phase in the English Department. One semester of speech is offered to help the young people talk in front of others and to better their writing.

Through the years, all areas of science have become necessary and popular in our world. This is no exception at OHS where many developments and changes have occurred. Biology, which is usually taken by sophomores, offers much in study of Mother Nature. In addi¬ tion to examining life from its very beginning to the present, the bi¬ ology classes make collections dur¬ ing the year. These collections include insects, leaves and wild flowers. Another section of science, chemistry, is quite interesting and very necessary for the future. Because of the large amount of new developments made in this field, many young people are needed and encouraged to con¬ sider chemistry as a future career.
