l 1 ,D ' ENGLISH: Barnes, Beasley, Burg, Henderson, Iames, Koch, Ce. Lawrence, Ch. Lawrence, Lehmberg,-Qonald, Magruder, Miller, Stratton, Wimberly. K with understand- T R d ing and to eX- O press oneself in- telligently has been our aim since we first began delv- ing into a study of the three R's. When a sophomore, special effort was made by our English teachers to develop the abil- ity to speak in complete sentences, to establish habits of using good English effectively in varied language situations, and to encourage creative work. As juniors, we are impressed with the need to continue our efforts in the development of correct speech habits, to maintain the skills previously acquired and to develop discrimination in literature. kc well, and to de- ' velop an appre- -l-O ciation of the qualities of good Writing, and to increase our skill in liter- ary interpretation and appreciation are the general objectives for students who continue beyond the required two years of English. ln all our English courses, ef- fort is made to develop within us the habit of reading for pleasure by opening to us new fields of attractive reading. Mem- bership in the English Honor Society has become a coveted honor. To be eligible, one must be nominated by an English teacher, recommended by two others, and have produced an original piece of work. Page 2,4
