Communications Broadly. communications includes English. Speech and journal- ism and plays a prominent part in the school's curriculum and post educational future of the student. Building a foundation in English grammar and an appreciation of literary greats are the aims of the English courses. Students de- velop the ability to think clearly, to read understandingly and to ex- press themselves skillfully and intelligently. A modern purpose is teaching students to listen with discrimination. During the complete course students study the great works of English and American literature. Included are tragedies of Shake- speare, verses of Whitman and novels of Dickens. Poetry about nature, historical events and man's emotions is studied. A number of creative compositions are also written by students. A perennial prob- lem confronting juniors and seniors is passing the minimum essen- tials test- The Pribble . Because English is a tool for other courses, it is a required sub- ject rather than an elective. While an elective, Speech confronts students with a forceful challenge to meet critical audiences and hold their interest. Regard- less of individual differences in English essentials. Speech students find the course practical as it equips them to meet the daily tests of oral communication pleasingly and effectively. In giving a prepared speech, students are required to under- stand customs of manner, how to maintain close contact with the audience and various types of delivery. All this study would be of little value if not properly exercised. It is said that speech is a skill done by doing. Freedom of the press is a constitutional guarantee, 'but students electing journalism learn that responsibility-to school, parents, graduates, and commmunity-is a prerequisite of newspaper and yearbook publishing. In journalism, students learn the fundamentals of news style writing and how to develop their ability in expressing facts accurate- ly, concisely and forcefully. Students must learn to obtain infor- mation from various sources and compose the written material logi- cally for publication. Here one combines various skills in English and applies them in writing laboratory work. journalism students also are instructed in related phases of the profession-business management and sales, editorial policies and mechanical production processes of the letterpress and photo off-set. g ,l Iupper righfl PAUl.Y'S LOOK OF CONCENTRATION iypifies that of every iunior during Pribble time.
