In Speech class, Volly Nelson develops her speaking ability by making a presentation speech to Rodney Clifford. Mrs. Berry Baker, assistant librarian, explains research materials to an English 5g class about to start on a library paper. Located in the library entrance, the card catalog is used by students to assist them in finding references. 20 Foreign Language Study The courses of the English and Language Depart- ments offer Manual ites an opportunity to acquire proficiency of expression in several languages. The main objectives of English courses are to develop an understanding of basic grammar, to build skills in creative writing, and to foster an appreciation for the great literary works of the world. Outside reading, oral talks, research papers, listening skills, study methods, and panel discussions broaden stu- dents ' knowledge of the English language. A new approach to teaching American Literature and LI.S. History was initiated this year. The double- period class taught by Mr. Malcolm Stern combined one section of both English 5 and 6, and of U.S. History 1 and 2. The two courses were cooidinated for more depth and understanding. Roots, prefixes, and suffixes comprise the foun- dation for Etymology, which concentrates on the building of our English vocabulary through the stu- dy of Latin and Greek derivatives. In the Speech class, another elective of the Eng- lish Department, students are given instruction in the art of public speaking. French, Spanish, and Latin students not only stu- dy grammar to read, speak, and write well, but also learn about the customs and history of the countries that speak their foreign language. Practice in pro- nunciation is aided greatly by the facilities of the language laboratory. Each booth is equipped with a tape recorder and earphones. V. fpf v..
