One of Mrs. Pollard's students learns the hard way by trying to smash a piriata. Edisonis foreign language department has taken a giant stride by utilizing its new and modern foreign language laboratory. This excellent facility enables students to be- come more familiar with the language and its application. The individual booths, microphones, headphones, and lis- tening and recording facilities enhance individual instruc- tion.

Q11 Junior High English Dorothy Boatright Doris Deaton Lester Goodson William Knox Mary McDonald William Smith If the junior high student can make his language work for him today it will profit him in the future. The student must learn to express his opinions accurately and force- fully to learn the power of words. And through reading and discussion of literature the student is-helped to be- come aware of the world around him. Because of the demands of our modern world, the ability to communicate is of primary importance. The classroom activities in the junior high are geared toward accurate, forceful, and concise speaking and listening. Susannah Hadley Barbara Johnson , W-MLW Effective writing, like any fine art, cannot come with- out complete understanding of the basic fundamentals. Grammar, as in the diagram of a sentence, is one of these fundamentals that is included in every English course. 2l
