ENGLISH from textbaoks to tape recorders From text books to tape recorders could well describe the advances made by the English department. Text books, of course, are still the main source of instruction, but speech teachers have found that recording machines prove very useful. The number of English teachers has increased from 3 in 1912 to 13 this year. All students are required to take four years of English, however, there are elective courses in the iunior and senior years. Enunciate Clearly-Members of the speech class, Trudy Sponholtz, John Frunzar, and Cherri Rees, record their voices on the tape recorder under Mr. Hollenbe-clc's supervision. Reading, 'Riting-Donald DeCelles, a member of Mr. Schaub's English ll class, recites his regular oral talk before members of his class. ENGLISH Ralph E.
