reading9 writing, speaking ar Democracy depends upon free flowing communication among all groups and individuals. Effective oral and written communication in turn depends upon proficient use of skills learned in the language arts. Democracy depends also on a deep knowledge and understanding of the problems and aspirations of all mankind. This can best be provided through an appreciative study of literature, the key to our cultural heritage and a guideline for the future. The goal of the English department is to develop the art of communications through writing, speaking, listening, and reading. Good English involves clear thinking, careful organization of thoughts, and a choice of words that most clearly and effectively convey those thoughts. As the future leaders of our world, we must work to advance as well as preserve our democratic society. In the language arts department the classes are senior, junior, and sophomore English and speech, taught by Miss Schneider, Mr. Brentlinger, Mrs. Nothwang, and Mrs. Carlstad. Also included in the department are French, and Latin I and II taught by Mr. Nichols and Mrs. Leisure. The library is one of the most essential rooms at CHS. Not only students find it helpful, but so do teachers. Here, Mrs. Carlstad works diligently as her students make good use of this facility. 18
