A two part program stresses Mrs. Ruth Kiniry Department Head ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English, the art of communications, not only prepares the student for the mundane activities of life for which a firm command of proper grammar and the sharp angles of clear thought are mandatory, but also introduces him to the more ethereal aspects of living. Discovered is the immense world of the written word contain- ing a gamut of emotions, perceptions, and phi- losophies. From this world speak MacBeth, Gats- by, and Pickwick. Mrs. Kiniry, along with Miss Rice, Miss Anderson, Mr. Stinson, Mr. Gregory, and Miss Tinkham are aided by these fictional characters in their endeavors to instill in the student an understanding of and a love for lit- erature.
