English Emphasizes Creativity Stressing the importance of inductive think- ing and effective communication, the ENG- LISH DEPARTMENT headed by Mrs. Mar- garctc Cantrall, develops a sequential program from the freshman to the senior year. In the four years of required English, students may elect to substitute at the sophomore level one semester of speech or debate for one semester of English; or may substitute one year of journalism for junior English. The many-faceted curriculum offers honors, college preparatory, general, and skills im- provement sections of study. The department, with the use of paper back books and inde- pendent study projects, broadens the individ- ual’s scope df the history of English and Amer- ican literature.

Foreign Languages Promotes Understanding The FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPART- MENT, under the direction of Mr. Fredric Moore, offers a basic five year program in Spanish, French, and German, and a two year curriculum in Latin. This year, the department initiated a new second semester general lan- guage course for students who do not meet with linguistic success during the first semester. This program offered to students from all language classes, reintroduces and studies the origins of all the modern languages. Foreign language students use many supple- mentary textbooks, movies, filmstrips, and magazines. The language lab offers individual facilities to help students broaden their vocab- ularies and improve pronunciation and com- prehension through listening to tape record- ings. ...
