Barton Indiana University, A.B., English Miss Mary Litts Burton Madison College, B.A., English, Sponsor, Sr. Tri-Hi-Y Mrs. Jean Whiteside contemplates the possibility of skipping a section in senior grammar, so she can advance to British poetry. In the fast moving world of today, good communication is a must. The English Department at Allegliany strives to perfect the waves of communication among all students. In the eiglith grade, students begin a study of basic English grammar and first begin to explore the possibilities of com- munication througli hterature. Freshmen and sophomores expand their knowledge of grammar and realize for the first time literature is a very definite line of communication. Juniors have a chance to practice the grammar they have learned in past years when that first complete term paper is due for Miss Burton. Juniors investigate the American litera- ture in an effort to better understand the progress of com- munication in the United States. Seniors are introduced to the well-developed British lines of communication through British literature. Seniors must also review all areas of grammar. Througli the efforts of the English teachers at ACHS, students leave their classes ready to communicate with their classmates and the world. 20
