Aj on (hj “ z) fi- english and drama departments , - uiryr) Stress Effective Communication The ENGLISH DEPARTMENTS, headed on the North campus by Mrs. Margarete A. Cantrall and on the South campus by Mr. Frank J. Babich, implement a program of language expression and understanding through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Se- lected literature and composition texts are designated for each of the four high-school years; and supplemen- tary classroom sets of texts are rotated from the Eng- lish Department office for student use. Programs at every level are enriched through liberal use of the li- brary, films, filmstrips, phonograph records, reading labs, and tape recorders. At junior and senior levels, the courses are divided into general English and college-preparatory English; at all levels there is an effort to meet individual needs through regular classes and through establishment of skills-improvement classes and honor classes. While four years of English are required for graduation, it is possible to substitute one semester of debate or speech for one semester of English at the sophomore level. By approval, a student may elect to take journalism in- stead of English during his junior year. The entire English program is sequential in pattern, designed to develop in each student competency in his native language and cultural appreciation of literature in general. The SPEECH AND DRAMA DEPARTMENTS, directed by Mrs. Marjorie G. Wood on both campuses, is structured to develop the student’s skill in oral com- munication. Courses in the department give training in techniques of composition and practice in formal speaking, critical listening, logical thinking, and oral interpretation. All classes in speech, drama, and debate are elective. Students develop an appreciation for literature. Frank J. Babich Northern 111. V . M S. 6 years South campus John C. Bowles DcPauw University.
