Communication Skills are Emphasized Bulletin boards require ingenuity and many hours of work not only in its preparation but also in its arrangement. The result achieved is picturesque as well as informative. Kay Heideman, Susan LeVan, J. W. Aiken, Bryan Ellis, and .lack Nicolls enjoy arranging theirs with these goals in mind. The Scarlet Letter, Moby Dick, Julius Caesar, by such novelists as Herman Melville and Nathaniel Haw- thorne, make English a very interesting and helpful course. English teaches us to read more quickly, closely, and critically, and thus, to get more out of what we read. We learn the signposts of fiction and non-fiction and words like symbolism and foreshadowing become part of our general vocabulary. We can develop our own ideas by studying and discussing the author's. Good word usage, spelling, and sentence struc- ture are expected of all ninth grade students. The mechanics of writing and the apprectiation of literature aims at creating an understanding of oneself and the motives which direct human behavior. At the end of the junior year each student should be able to write logically and be able to analyze literary works. The end of the semester brings term papers and research in the library. Here all our English skills must be applied from writing to knowing how to use reference materials. We study English for years, but even after gradu- ation we go on in everyday life to learn more about our native language. During the year each student of advanced eleventh grade Harling, Sharon JI-1CkSOI1, .lean Ann Luge'rS, and Karen Pidiafdf English must lead the class in one discussion. Sue McClana- as she takes her turn at leading the discussion. than seems to hold the attention of her classmates. Barb 26

ACADEMIC . The academic life of a school is, of course, its most important aspect. The school was created for the purpose of imparting higher knowledge to youth so that they might have a better chance to live a successful and happy life. Our administration and fac- ulty must carry the full burden of the'responsibility placed in their hands by the people of our community to run th'e school and educate the youth. They are doing their best to handle this task capably and conscientiously, and it is up to the rest of us to sup- port their endeavors in every way possible.
