Tlie department has classes to fit the need of each student. At the freshman and soph- omore levels students are enrolled in skills improvement, general, or honors English classes. Juniors and seniors are offered many additional courses, including journalism as a full year substitute for junior English and speech or debate as substitutes for a single semester of English. Debate, sponsored by Mr. Edward Ver- tuno and Mr. Donald Vondracek, and drama, under Mr. Eredric Moore, are es- sential parts of the overall English pro- gram. Through participation in plays, de- bates and basic speaking and acting, stu- dents develop forensic skills. There is a periodic evaluation of the de- partment at the national, state, and county levels to keep abreast of new developments in the areas of English. Through the use of movies, filmstrips, phonograph records, read- ing labs, and frequent visits to the library, the department develops in each student a thorough knowledge of his native tongue and an appreciation of all forms of literature and drama.
