Miss Barbara Currie Mrs. Patricia Khoury Creative Writing Our English department has two purposes: to develop clearer and more effective oral and written expression and to increase understanding and appreciation of literature. Through the study of grammar, usage, and vocabulary, a student increases exactness and proficiency of the English language. These skills are then directly applied to discussions and themes. Selected readings from such authors as Shakespeare. Dickens, Ibsen, and Miller enable the student to absorb, diagnose, and criticize new concepts. In total, the F.nglish department provides a student with the opportunity to increase his means of expression as well as his knowledge of the ideas of great thinkers. Mr. John J.
