We Gain Poise And Confidence No matter what we do after graduation we may someday be called upon to speak before a group. Those who hove not had some sort of training may find it difficult to speak with any amount of poise and assurance. Both public-speaking and dramatics give us this needed confidence. Whether we spend our time in greose-paint or in- formative demonstrations we are learning to speak ond act before a group. Pantomimes in dramatics class and monologues in public speaking ore not only enjoyable but also help us to goin confidence in front of o group. It's a challenge to try to extract emotion from classmates! The librory plays another important port in our school life. We may get a little noisy talking about who's dating that good-looking new boy, but with a gentle word.from Mrs. McKinnell we settle down to study our lost minute notes before that biology test or busily seek the best sources available for the re- search necessory for the term paper. a.

ENGLISH—A Living Language Whether we ore studying the life of Shakespeare or the use of conjunctions, we are increasing our knowledge in English. In literature we learn to ap- preciate and criticize intelligently the works of others; we combine both a knowledge of bosic grammar and creotive thinking when we write our own essays and compositions. Occasionally, if we feel especially brave, we may dash off a poem or two. However, at all times we must keep in mind thot the purpose of language is to communicate. All too often we ore unconscious of the fact that the use of our English may well determine our success in life.
