Page Zl literature English begins with the study of grammar. Since our earliest days we have coniugated verbs and learned about nouns and modifiers. progressing through elementary and junior high schools, we tackled difficult gram- matical constructions and began to apply our knowledge to writing. By the time we reached high school, our back- ground had broadened enough so that we could appreciate and understand great literature. Our English department offers the student not only basic skills in grammar but also the knowledge to write and understand great writing. The over-all English program emphasizes literature and writing for graduates who plan to attend college. A creative writing course is offered for students inter- ested inthe productive aspect of English. i

Debate, ramaties and Speech Help Develop ral Conquering the shakes that usually accompany a public speaking engagement and discovering the tech- niques of good speech preparation are the tasks of speech students. The student learns poise and control, and participates in speaking contests and programs. Dramatics gives the student a chance for personal expression in serious and humorous plays and reading. The history of the theatre, costuming and make-up, and acting techniques are studied and applied in the class's annual play. Communication Skills Since the ability to communicate easily with our fellow men is essential, Berkley High offers several courses that strive to teach the student this neces- sary skill. The courses include debate, speech, dramatics, and iournalism. Learning to apply logical thinking to everyday conversation keeps debate students talking. ln this course many regular debates and discussions are held, usually on a controversial issue. Research techniques are also covered in detail. Page 23 Mrs.Marg0reTMcQuaid B.A . Alma College .Q l ll' KJ :g:,... tl Mr. Raymond Adler B.A. Wayne State U. M.A. Wayne State U. Mr. R Fisher B.A .
