Miss Eleanor McDevitt, lVIiss Esther Cahill, Miss Wilma Hutchison, Miss Beulah Purington, and Miss Vivian Ross NGLISH at VV'alnut Hills involves far more than the LA, proper juxtaposition ot sub- Q, ject and verb or the simple ' 3 following of the plot of a story. Becoming familiar with the great literature of the past and present, learning to appreciate and evaluate, and de- veloping the power to express ideas clearly and well, the Walnut Hills students receives a background and training that enriches his whole life. The excellence of this training is due in large measure to the superiority of the staff of the English department. It may be Miss Esther Cahill, Miss Anne Sutherland, or Miss Eleanor McDevitt, who introduces the eager freshman to epic poetry in Sohrab and Rustumn and to the greatness of Shakespeare in A Mid- summer Night's Dream. Perhaps it is Mrs. Katherine Lappa, Miss Etta O'Hara, Miss Mabel Schweikert, or Mr. Harold Inskeep, who helps the sophomore to an appreciation of Julius Caesar and to discriminate in choosing con- temporary works in the study of The Yearlingn.
