Communicative Abilities Increase During the past years the English department has ex- panded to meet the needs of the students . In addition to the regular four years of English, Calumet also gives its students the opportunity to benefit from other English electives such as speech, journalism, and composi- tion. These literary -minded stu- dents learn about such great men as Chaucer and Thur- ber. Now with the knowl- edge of how to find Canter- bury and how to evade the clutches of a nagging wife, the English students are prepared to meet the chal- lenge of the 20th century. Attempting to master the age old skill of diagramming sentences are Brenda McElroy, A1 Steapleton, Leonard Lamphear, and Dave Gerrard. Mrs. Tolden explains the philosophy of transcendent- alism to Rita Zelkovich in an after class session. Working with ideas and outside material is one aspect of honors English. English Teachers.

Be- cause of this, it is important that each student realizes the role that America plays in its rela- tionship with the other countries of the world. The social studies instructors endeavor to impress this idea upon the future citizens . Civics and Government familarize the students with the basic functions of democracy at work.
