English Dept. Builds Language Skills English must be the most abused subject that ever EXISTED. Everytime a student goes home and says got instead of have or have threw instead of have thrown he gets the prying question, Who is your English teacher? Nevertheless the English Department forges on to instill basic skills in language usage - both written and oral. In addition, the department's teachers try to cultivate an appreciation of literature and to develop a critical insight as a preparation for college. The department also employs supplementary methods of teaching such as filmstrips, records and transparencies. The department has hired two teach- ers who are adept at using these methods. Mr. Iohn Saviola is teaching English I and II and Mr. Paul Mar- tello teaches English I. Opposte Page Above, Fr. Paul attempts to convince his students that English IVisn't all that bad.

The Language Department teaches that the world of language is large and expansive. The department offers both modern and classical lan- guages. A student not only learns the language, but he also learns the customs and beliefs of the country whore it is spoken. This knowledge is conveyed by films that talk about the country itself. Through the Language Dept., one learns that America isn't the only country that exists in the modern world today. 35 R I if I but it as 1 1
