ENGLISH DEPARTMENT When Classical students first begin the study of the English language, some become bored and disinterested because of the intricacies of English grammar. But after a student has acquired the elementary foundation of English grammar, the study of the language opens up to him a world of wonder and delight through his clearer under- standing of English literature. Without an ade- quate English vocabulary, communication so vital in our complex life would be greatly hindered. If we lacked the ability to converse intelligently, the social world would be dull and tedious. In order to provide entertainment and educa- tion for the modern generation, Classical High School requires each student to take English for three years. So that no one will be disappointed, several choices are offered from which he may choose the one best suited for his needs and tastes. This selection includes literature, composition, and courses in journalism and special English. Our competent English staff is made up of seven teachers: Mr. Edwin E. Smith, chairman, Miss Teresa Boylan, Mr. Donald Campbell, Miss Ruth Dickerman, Mr. Euclide Lague, Dr. James McGuire, Dr. Aileen O’Grady and Miss Christine Sauer.
