Shakespeare, Chauccr, and Minimum Essential Tests! l-low can any Washburnite torget them? The Juniors can be seen wandering atter Macbeth's dagger or trying to get some news around the school tor their Journalism class. Wihan that Aprillef' and other English poetry, keeps the Seniors on their toes. The Sophomores can be called almost authorities on Cureelr and Roman Myth- ology and American Literature. At the end ot every se- mester, atter the essential tests and composition tests have been taken, everyone wonders whether it is who' or i'whom, or what you wrote tor your composition. Modern Drama, creative writing, and speech are non- academic courses which are ottered in connection with the English Department. An excellent example ot the co-operation between stu- dents and teachers is in the art department. This is evident by the large number ot students who won awards in the Scholastic Art Awards Contest. Miss Oberg and Miss Trowbridge teach the art courses ottered at Washburn which are: cratts, including clay models balred in the new lriln, metal work, paper mache models, and chip carvingy tashion: designing: sketch: and painting. This Spring, the halls will be wallpapered again with the products oi the students ettorts and artistic abilities. This includes every- thing trom Modern Art lwhich otten gets hung upside downl to current tashion styles. It is a collection ot the best wort done in the art classes tor the entire year. The south end ot the third tloor houses the Math de- partment. Here the average Washburnite can be tound sutiering through either algebra or geometry. Also tound there are those students aspiring to be engineers, scien- tists, businessmen, or just plain mathematical geniuses. They can be tound taxing their brains with such subjects as advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Intormation learned in these classes is also very usetul in chemistry and physics. It greatly increases your analytical ability and teaches you to be more exact in your reasoning.
