English is one of the most important subjects a high school student is required to take. Not only does it prepare a person for college, but it serves as the basis for his distinct personality. The Eng- lish department at CHS, consisting of capable and qualified teachers, stresses the importance of this course through the study of grammar, litera- ture, compositions, outside reading material, and many other extra activities. The shadows of IVAN- HOE, THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN CABLES, and THE LADY OF THE LAKE are only a few of the great works that will be remembered by graduates of Columbus High. English is something that does not lose its significance after the student graduates, but con- tinually follows him throughout the rest of his life effecting each new phase of his future.
