III Qlurrirulum and 7 militias Motivated by a national campaign to raise the learning standards in high schools and colleges, the administration of the Battle Ground School Dis- trict has taken steps toward strengthening the high school airricululn with emphasis placed in the fields of English, math, science, and languages. Soaring enrollment in the Battle Ground schools has prompted much far-sighted planning on the part of school officials. Most of the administrative meetings with the school board this year have been centered around proposed plans for the expansion of the pre- sent school facilities. Increasing enrollment in the district, now totaling 2828, has made it evident that more room will be needed before long. The greatest increase has come in the high school. In the last ten years taxpayers have approved two bond issues and two special levies and will probably be called upon in the near future to rally behind the school administration once more in its next step forward.

lprnper Speer: Members of Miss Johnson's sophomore English classes learn the essentials of writing a good theme by means of an attractive bulletin board display. Victory in World War 11 hinged on one word Com- munication g likewise, communication is the key word in the English classes at Battle Ground High. Each of the four required years of English is de- signed to develop communication through speaking, reading, writing, and listening. The courses also emphasize comprehensive reading, vocabulary de- velopm ent, logical arrangement and distinctive power in writing. Through constant practice, stu- dents develop clarity and fluency in speaking and writing, thus increasing their ability to communi- cate with others. l I MISS MARYANN JOHNSON B.
