DRUMMOND B.A., Elon College, English II. me nomo ENGLISH Abraham Lincoln once said, We must think anewf, and indeed we must in this day of vast communications. This tremendous task falls on the English department. The first step in becoming able to think anew is gaining a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of grammar which comes only after much practice and drill. After these principles have been mastered, we then proceed to writing. Numerous hours of hard Work and study have to be put into themes and research papers. The reward finally comes when we can say and know that we have done the very best that we are capable of doing. Our newest course, Advanced Writing and Composition, offers us a good opportunity to advance and broaden

SCHUOL SECRETARY MRS. GERTRUDE TISDALE Never too busy to answer questions or to assist students or faculty, Mrs. Gertrude Tisdale capably fulfills her many duties with a smile. Her working hours are filled with answering the phone, typing transcripts and reports, and keeping endless records. GUTDANQE COUNSELURS Are my S.A.T. scores high enough? Should I go into service after gradua- tion? Am I eligible to take trig next year?3' These are familiar questions heard in the offices of our guidance counselors, Miss Kathryn Ray and Mr. Bob Warren. These two capable and dedicated people are always willing to help us with our curriculum, college, or vocational problems. We are all deeply indebted for their help and guidance. LHERARHANS Whether making catalogue cards for new books, revising the vertical files, or helping students learn about the many resources of the library, our librarians, Miss Mary Ellen Hobson and Miss Rachel Howard, are always ready to help us find information for term papers or special reports or material for parallel reading. Their efforts have contributed to our library's becoming one of the best in the state. CAEETERHA ,MANAGER Planning varied yet well-bal- ancecl menus presents a tremend- ous task to our cafeteria manager, Mrs. Mae Tomlinson. She is al- ways faced with the problem of preparing enough food to meet the daily demand of students. Capably she directs a large staff of workers and maintains a high standard of service.

Through this medium We learn, not only to express our own thoughts, but also to accept the thoughts of others. From composition and oral recitation we proceed to literature, a study of the writings of others. We explore works-Chauceris '4The Nun's Priestis Tale, Shakespeare's Macbeth, or Keat's HOde on a Grecian Urn -and study the lives of great authors. The last step in our learning to think anew is the application of these principles of English to our own lives. If this step is not taken, then all the other steps-grammar, composition, oral recitation, and study of literature-have not been fruitful. MRS.
