English Department Holds WHO SAID THIS DESK is a mess! Mrs. Anne Hayes,' busy chairman of the Enghsh Department, teaches 9th grade English and Spanish I and II. OH NO, YOU DON'T . . . Miss Phyllis Coscarelly is teacher of 10th grade English, Speech, and director of the junior and senior class plays. 26 Learning to communicate effectively and in- telligently is one of the most important prob- lems in our society today. Without adequate facilities for learning and understanding the English Language there would be no common ground for expression of thoughts and ideas. The English teachers of CHS and Roosevelt Junior High organized together in a workshop last August and have co-ordinated the English courses and unified the subject matter taught at each grade level. This will prevent unneces- sary repetition of materials. The group had three objectives in their workg to have more emphasis upon communication skills, to have more Unity in the department, and to present a course suitable to all levels of learning. Each course has four main sectionsg grammatical skills, oral skills, written skills, and literature and reading. Other areas covered were book lists for every gradeg supplementary material such as records, filmstrips, periodicals, and booksg cor- rection symbols for themesg reading forms and manuscript forms. The high school department offers 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade English, journalism, speech, and debate. Three years of English are required. The other courses are electives.
