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

From the Study of the Old ,World The past, the present, and the future compose the subject matter discussed in history, whether it be American, World, or Michigan history. By graduation each student should understand the past and present well enough to grasp his increasing importance in the future. Caesar, Napoleon, and Churchill are just a sampling of the people we learn about in World history. We start where time began, when there were neither coun- tries nor nations, and slowly we see them emerge and develop, conquered, and liberated until we see the world as it is today. American history broadens our outlook on our coun- try. Blended with Michigan history, it points the way to solving today's problems. We learn that the problems faced by our forefathers are not totally removed from the problems of today. Current events are a living part of history today, thus, they are taught by means of group discussions interspersed with last yearis or last century's current events. The discussions carried on in class may range anywhere from Caesar and Mark Antony to President Kennedy and Premier Krushchev, and often do. Studying World History can prove to be both interesting and enjoyable. 'llom Bingman explains his history project,' a map of the Ancient World, to his class while Gary Dykstra assists him.
