my own country -GEORGE POPE MORRIS From the first year of school until graduation, every student struggles through an obstacle course of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Although this repetition of the fundamentals of English grammar sometimes seems unnecessary, the importance of English can be fully appreciated only when its role in our daily lives is recognized. A basic knowledge of grammar is required for even the simplest of conversations. Only by facility in speaking can we make our ideas and desires known. Furthermore, if we want to spread our ideas or make them more lasting, we must have the ability to express them clearly and fully in writing. Once we have made ourselves masters of the mysteries of composition and oral presentation, our study of English leads us into the realm of literature where we may get inspiration from the great works of the past and present. Here, also, we learn of the great authors who have shaped our literary world. Our English Department, which now offers courses in world literature and advanced composition along with the traditional English courses, is staffed by competent personnel. Pride in our language and the acquisition of skill in it are very important to the survival of the American way of life. was MRS. AILEEN LIPE MISS NANCY LOUISE MR. W. VANCE MR. WM.
