English Department Adds Journalism Class This year the English department was enlarged to include a course in journalism, taught by Mrs. Tom Mock. The outstanding project of the new class was the publishing of the Tiger Rag, by-weekly mimeographed newspaper. The class also did the literary work on the Cotton Blossom and presented a radio program on the beginning and growth of journalism. The speech class had a full year as they studied play production, debate, and drama and attended student congress meetings and traveled to several schools viewing their plays. A radio program built around the Anglo-Saxon literature and times was a first quarter project of English IV. During the fourth quarter for a grueling period of six weeks, the same students worked on research papers. The fundamentals of grammar, literature and composition were taught in English I, II, and III. Spelling was also stressed in English I. SPEECH STUDENTS J. While. Walker. Carter. O. White. Hayden.

Special Services Are Offered Students A speech correction service, offered for the first time this year, has been of invaluable aid to many C. H. S. students. The work of Mrs. Lyman Dillard, correctionist, in this, her first year, included interviewing and testing 1,401 students, working once or twice weekly with the 248 students who needed correction, giving numerous tests with the telebino-cular and audiometer. While much of Mrs. Dillard's work was with elementary children, a number of high school students also profited from her work. Because a trouble shared is half cured, Mr. Thomas Mock, guidance counselor, made an important contribution to C. H. S. Personal counseling, help in vocational and educational planning, and testing are all a part of his service to our students. MR. THOMAS MOCK, guidance counselor, advises Georgia Goodale. sophomore.
