Man's intelligence is revealed every time he opens his mouth to speak or picks up his pen to write. Senior high students endeavor to develop this ability through three years ot English study. Sophomores delved into a complex study ot word usage, sentence structure and commonly misspelled words. Experiencing Shakespeare tor the first time, they read and analyzed julius Caesar. Coinciding with the study of United States history, juniors pinpointed their reading to American literature. The word individualism took on a new meaning after reading Thoreau. Preparing for college work, juniors experienced the long hours oi research and careful composition that is involved in writing a term paper. Clirnaxing two years of Engish study, seniors con- centrated primarily on literature. Three Shake- spearean plays and Marlowe's Dr. Faustusu high- lighted their reading.
