Mrs. Blackmar, who began teaching at Columbus High School at mid-term, is facing, among other problems that loom before all new teachers, becoming familiar with school rules, customs, and the newness of the school building itself. No one escapes four years of English. The stu- dents at Columbus High School are more familiar with English than with any other subject, everyone is required to take it for four years. From Lady of the Lake in their freshman year to Henry Esmond in their senior year, they enjoy literature. From direct objects as a sub-fresh- men to cognate objects as juniors and seniors they strug- gle through grammar. Grammar is taught in all four grades for correct- ness in both oral and written work. Literature is taught to give the student an understanding of the writings of va- rious authors and a study of the development of our culture and history. American authors and their writings are studied the freshman and junior years and English, their sophomore and senior years. Various methods are used by the teachers to stimulate interest and to promote learning in their English classes. Among these are films, photographs, artwork, records, field trips, reports and contests. These contests range from the Vocabee on word and definition ability to the essay contests on soil conservation. A research theme is required in both the junior and senior years, and a monthly book report aids a student in probing deeply and in learning on his own. At least 64,000 books have been read by the almost 1,600 CHS students this year at Columbus High School. Engli h tudents stud orld Mrs. Julie Champion, Florida State University, B.S.

CHS was excited over the new principal and now itls excited over the work that he has done. Dr. John Deason came to our school and through faith in us has guided CHS to growth in prestige. He initiated sys- tems of parking and registration which are now recognized as improvements brought about by thought. Plants and grass have been given for the school grounds. Students hold more responsibility this year, and pride in CHS has developed a rising school spirit. Aiding Dr. Deason are Mr. Wayne Renegar, Miss Mary Alice Arnold and Mr. Herman Dollar. Mr. Renegar, Dean of Boys, came to CHS from Southwest DeKalb High School. Besides his job as Dean of Boys, Mr. Rene- gar is seen around school policing the lunch line and taking care of stragglers and evaders of CHS school rules. Miss Mary Alice Arnold, Assistant Principal, is always busy, but she finds time every Tuesday morning to act as adviser of the Student Council. She also conducts a three- forty class for students who are late to school. Able adviser to all is Mr. Herman Dollar. His aid is especially helpful in assisting seniors to decide future plans.
