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.

New this year is the language laboratory library system, whereby all tapes arc filed under a card catalogue system in the lan- guage lab. This program, headed by Mrs. Genevieve Anderson, offers the advanced student an opportunity for further knowl- edge of the language and the country he studies. Once a week, interested students meet in the laboratory after school to listen to and work with tapes of dialogues and songs. Individual facilities allow each stu- dent to develop skill at his own rate. Karen L. Julandcr U. of Illinois. A.B. i «» Raul P. Martin U. of Havana. Ph.D. l year Stephanie S.
