English 11, 12. 1 need, you need, he needs, we need, you need, everyone needs a bet- ter background in English, and Po-Hi's English department provides the teach- ers who encourage students' achieve- ments. The sophomores begin their new phase of school life at Po-I-ti with Silas Marner, Julius Caesar, and Tale' of Two Cities. Completing their yearis work is an extension of all grammar they have learned thus far. To be or not to be, that is the ques- tion which plagues the minds of jun- iors as they struggle through Shake- speare's Hamlet. Short stories, essays, and poetry also fill their time. Preparing the seniors for college, senior English teachers require a re- search paper and help the students with a review of all grammar. Macbeth and short stories complete their final year at Po-Hi. Also included in the English depart- ment are the speech, journalism, world literature, and debate classes. Speech is the mirror of the soul discover the students in Miss Quigleyis speech classes as they prepare speeches weekly for presentation before their in- dividual classes. The journalism classes learn that there is more to publishing a newspaper than meets the eye. World literature students take a trip around the world as they study litera- ture from different countries of the world. Although personal opinions might differ from the standpoint of the de- bate, the students in Mr. Surber's de- bate classes learn to fight pro or con. The English department has worked for perfection in fully developing the potential of each student.

To acquaint students with the past and present civilizations of our world is a goal of the Po-Hi social studies de- partment. Psychology and sociology students study about man and his interrelation- ships with civilization and otlier peo- ples. The responsibilities of a citizen to' his country are great, as the students in the government, economics, and problems of democracy courses dis- cover. The topography of the earth, its min- erals, bodies of water, and other natural resources, and the effect of these on the peoples of the earth are studied by students in Mr. Hoskin's world geography. Oklahoma history, American history, Modern European history, and World history give the students an opportun- ity to study about past civilizations and how they have molded our world of today. Y l.
