It seems as though Spudnilt'' has finally awakened people to realize the vast importance of science courses. Grammar, a required subject of all classes has been most enjoyable this year. As in other schools, diagramming, reading, writing essays, and keeping notebooks is practiced by the English teachers, Mrs. Torres. Mrs. Brieghtling. Miss Silva and Mr. Wood. The teachers also stressed Penmanship this yoar. Another item that aroused the ambition of the students is the goal set. that states that if a B average or higher is acquired in the first three years of grammar, they will be exempted when they are Seniors. 22 Science courses are of torrific value to the student who dosiros to live more intelligently. The de- mands for people with a science background are ever increasing. Literature and English grammar wero taught interchangeably by Mr. Wood, in his Basic Communi- cations class.
