My mind ts' made upg don't confuse me with the facts. AND WORDS ARE BUT THE SIGNS OF IDEAS. Johnson With the English department rests one of the most important of secondary school's tasks - teaching the student to communicate ideas intelligently. To achieve this aim, two major areas, grammar and literature are stressed. Grammar courses strive to expand the student's knowledge of the principles involved in sentence construction. Spelling accur- acy, correct pronunciation, vocabulary, and many of the other intricacies of the language receive increased attention as the stu- dent progresses through this study. The growth and development of English literature through- out the ages is studied, furnishing an understanding of its varied forms and the contributions it has made to civilization. Different literary styles are held to light for anaylsis and comparison. While studying the ancient and contemporary authors, the Freshmen classes learn to speed-read through the newly established S.R.A. reading program. . For the student who wishes to cultivate his writing ability, the English department includes a Senior course in creative writ- ing. By both concentrated examination of contemporary Writings, and the actual writing of assigned themes, the student learns to express his thoughts clearly and concisely.
