For written commun- ication, grammar and form are stressed as well as creativity and clarity. Since literature is the written record by which the communi- cation of ideas is preserved, the literature of the past and the present is studied. Most im- portant, in improving ones writing ability, is actual writing. The stude-nts are required to do themes, paragraphs, short stories, and es- say tests to acquire this experience. Oral communication ot ideas is taught through the study of dramas, an art form which depends upon the spoken work, and the presentation of panel discussion, and oral re- ports. Some English classes prepare plays and present them to student audiences. The English department's two part pro- gram, stressing written and oral communica- tion prepares the student to use the English language skillfully. ' f l You'd better laugh, it you want to pass!

I get longer every dayl selors, Mr. Barrows, Miss Haley, and Mr. Soule have taken a personal in- terest in each and every student, helping them to take full advantage of their high school years and 'pre- paring for the future. Every student has met with his guidance counselor, receiving help in school problems and advice with future plans for college, work, and life. Therefore, we, the class of l964, wish to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to those who have made our years at Sharon High School profitable and beneficial ones, and have helped us on our way towards maturity.
