Pictures You— a Redskin, in Academics Each Manualite enrolls for at least four credits a semester. The more studious, ambitious ones add extras because Manual ' s academic program has so much to offer. A comprehensive high school, her curriculum can prepare a Redskin for any college or career school, for the business or trade world, and for homemaking and family living. Four years of study under Manual ' s skilled teachers is an experience that helps us grow up and readies us for future life.

Our English Classes Prepare Us to Communicate New grammar and literature books arrived in September for the English Department. A revised curriculum combined the study of grammar, com- position, and literature in each semester. A team teaching class was re-established this year lor seniors. Three classes of 30 students each, met as a group once or twice weekly. On other clays, each class met as a discussion group under its own teacher of the team of three. The Humanities class, which studies the develop- ment of Western civilization, took field trips to supplement class work. In the fall they visited sev- eral museums in Cincinnati and a production of the play, St. Juan. In April they visited Chicago. English and U.S. History were combined in Histlish, a special course for juniors. The class correlates American literature and history. Etymology and Speech helped students become more proficient in using the English language. At the end of the year, the best written work of the English Department was compiled and pub- lished in Manual Manuscripts, Volume VIII. Mr. Richard Blough, head of the English Department, lectures to the team teaching class. He combined efforts with Mr. )ohn Wells and Mr. Ronald Green to teach three classes as one. A group of wandering Manualites, during a visit to Cincinnati with their Humanities class, stroll across a bridge over the Ohio River so they can boast they also visited Kentucky. This day of cultural activi- ties broadened their horizons both intellectually and actually as several visited two new states. u p 20
