1935 CHEVRON Ettiil ournalism Exchange The Exchange Department is one of the minor departments ofthe Chevron, yet it is one of the most important departments because it enables the Chevron staff to produce a well-balanced year book. All the outstanding and excep- tionally good features of other schools' year books, originally reproduced, plus our own features, are put into one excellent year book-the Albion High School Chevron. Likewise, the other schools have an opportunity to use our features as models for their year books.

The graduates of this year stand on the threshold of a world of endeavor, better equipped to choose their life work because of high school training. VVhether they become doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, merchants. sec- retaries, farmers or housewives, the past four years of study and play form the hrst step toward success. For the first time Manual Arts and Home Economics take an important place with Agriculture and Mathematics in the curriculum. To this end the Literary Department has attempted to show the value and necessity of all the departments ofthe school through their record of activities. Thus the l935 annual becomes your Chevron. Gateways in English YVhat sources of wealth lie in the field of English! So many values accrue from a ready command of language. Primarily, the success of many business transactions depends upon the clearness and directness of the speech of the negotiatorsg advertising depends mainly upon skill in the use of languageg social prestige demands culture in speechg radio broadcasting, acting, public speakingg clear dictiong in fact, leadership in any field is almost impossible for one inefficient in using his mother tongue. Secondarily, there is a beauty in the use of words shown in the works of great writers. For one who would choose journalism, fiction, scenario, letter or related fields of writing as a career, English composition offers excellent training. For one who wishes to learn about humanityg the world of natureg customs, thoughts, and emotions of those about himg a delightful hobby for leisure hours-the field of literature offers numerous opportunities. Thirdly, English offers a tool to help one in all other fields of learning. lt aids one to acquire the power of clear thinking. lt helps one to gain habits of accuracy in the mechanics of writing and speaking. lt helps to improve morality and personal character. VVithout a command of his language, one could neither understand what he reads nor make others understand him. Therefore, English is the gateway to many vocations, professions and courses of study.
