X Being able to organize thoughts clearly and to speak distinctly and gram- MISS DOROTHY BENNETT, M.A matically are all contributions to this education. R'flW W'l' llwtl At Belvidere High School the students are offered a great variety of Iuiiior Class Adviser English courses in which every student is given the knowledge of grammar, skill in communication, and an appreciation of literature. In order to graduate from the high school, three years of English are required. The first two years are compulsory, but during the next year, the student may take either English Ill, which includes the study of American literature, or contemporary literature. In English Ill the American heritage is stressed through prose and poetry. It increases the knowledge of modern American authors and their works. If the student is not planning further formal edu- cation, he may take contemporary literature as his third required year. English IV is available to those interested in English literature. Though it is not required, it is recommended for college preparation. In this class, a detailed study of the English language and literature from its beginning until the present day is conducted.

MISS IDA BURLEIGH, M. A. Journalism, English I Bel-Hi News Adviser MISS MARGERY HINRICHS, B. S. Librarian Junior Class Adviser Library Club Adviser g voice an ,gen The other courses offered by the English department are public speaking and journalism. Public speaking teaches the students the art of being poised and interesting speakers both in public and in conversation. Throughout the year various exercises are assigned to help the students become acquainted with all phases of speaking. From frightened students giving their first speeches with small, quivering, unintelligible voices develop the confident speakers prepared for almost any situation which requires speaking in public. Journalism, available only to upperclassmen, publishes the school newspaper, A the Bel-Hi News. The students learn how to write good copy and good headlines and to arrange the articles on the page. Ad- vertisements, solicited by students from businessmen, help pay for the paper. It is the aim of these classes to give the student a chance to de- velop his natural- skills and acquire new ones. The librarian and her assistants help students locate books for re- search purposes, book reports, and personal enioyment, and see that books are checked out properly, and over due book lists are posted. During second semester, English I classes are instructed in library procedures by the librarian. The fact that the high school library has about l0,000 books available to the students and that about TOO of these books are checked out daily is evidence that the library is an integral part of high school education. 1 f,,..v THIS FLAG POLE JUST WON'T STAY UP! - English IV AND NOW MAY I PRESENT - Jay Funderburg introduces students inspect the model Elizabethan theater.
