E GLISH DEPARTMENT Language is the tool of communication, therefore, a good command of the English language is necessary for clear verbal expression. Our English department tries to achieve this goal by combining a curriculum of gram- matical study and an introduction to various types of literature. All students are required to take English in order to comply with the state requirement for secondary schools. In addition to regular classes, the English department offers several electives. These include Better WVriting, a course designed to improve Writing skill, journalism, given to the exploration of the fundamentals of newspaper and magazine Writing, Modern Literature, a class that concen- trates on contemporary literary Works, and Humanities, an academic elec- tive that evaluates man through his fields of creativity, music, literature, and the arts. The English department also contains the reading department. The four instructors in the program offer remedial help as well as speed and comprehension drills. Our English department is one that prides itself on successfully teaching a command of English and giving students an opportunity to explore other fields of literary endeavor. MARY W.
