English, a vital part of our daily lives, is an extremely im- portant subject at Boone High School. Educators realize that communicating effectively with one's fellow men could solve many of the problems of this turbulent world. With this thought in mind, the English department begins an intensive study of word usage, parts of speech and sentence structure in the sophomore year, besides requiring the student to read well-known literary works like Siler Maurer and julia: CaeJm'. Entering English III, a student goes more deeply into the technicalities of grammar and composition. He is introduced to the literature of his native land, America, by reading the Mary Bryan works of james Fenimore Cooper, Bret Harte, Edgar Allen Poe and Ralph Waldo Emerson. To allow him to apply his knowledge of grammar sentence structure and vocabulary, f' teachers assign research themes. Then in his senior year a student is offered the chance to adapt his English to his own needs. The standard course, English IV, is devoted to a final review of grammatical prin- ciples. Immortal works like The Canterbury Telex, Mac- beth, and Pamcii5e Loft are analyzed and explained in an effort to familiarize the soon-to-be graduate with some of .

FOR A BOOK ot poems you Ioolt in the section numbered 800-899 which is literature, explains Judy Aubuchon to Phillip Little. Learning how to locate books in the library is a requirement ot sophomore orientation weelt. To Meet Students' Needs Special English, open only to seniors talented in the use of language, acts as a preparatory course for college. The thirty-three students en- rolled in this class devote a large portion of their time to expanding their vocabularies. They apply these new words by writing essays, short stories, and letters. One activity that all special English students look forward to is selecting new books for the library. A certain amount of money allotted for the purchase of books is set aside solely to pay for the new editions that these students decide upon. They spend a week reading stacks of book reviews from the past two years. Then, they discuss their choices in class to see which would not only appeal to the students but also be worthwhile additions to the library's collection. When the books arrive, these students are privileged to be the first to read them. Business English and the new course secretarial English train for the day when Boone graduates must take their places in the business world as typists, file clerks, secretaries, or executives. They are taught not only business correspondence but are required to read a large number of magazines containing information that will be of great value to them on their jobs. These are the courses offered at Boone in the field of English. They supply a student with a certain amount of cultural polish and appre- ciation of fine arts besides furnishing him with the necessary gram- matical tools which he will need to communicate with his fellow men. THE DIVISION will have to be made between the one- letter syllables, instructs Ann Dawson, secretarial Eng- lish student. Word Study is an important part of her business training.
