The Improvements of Department Closed circuit television added a new dimension to English 4. Drama class hams pose for photographer. The latest scheme looks like televi- sion and a gadget-filled reading labg actually they are just a clever disguise. The English Department is up to its old trick of constantly seeking new and better ways of teaching the unsuspecting student his own language. This turns out to be quite a complex and demanding job. It involves the student learning cor- rect English grammar and usage, and improving his reading skills of rate, vocabulary, comprehension. The Eng- lish class aims to develop each stu- dent's ability to express himself clearly and artistically in Written or oral form, to convey original ideas, and to interpret acquired ideas and know- ledge. Already such subversive items as literature appreciation, creative writ- ing, and the fabulous Language Arts Festival have become an accepted part of English Department activities. The most significant Work of the English Department is the development of language and effective communica- tion, for the future of the world may ultimately hinge on man's ability to un- derstand and be understood.
