English classes improve communication skills. The Language Arts Department offers one of the most important courses at Manual, English. English is our means of communicating with each other. How- ever English is not the only course of- fered: the department offers a wide va- riety of electives in addition to English I through English VIII. English I through English VI is taken by every graduate of Manual in com- pliance with the state requirement for graduation. Histlish is offered to selected juniors. It is a combination of U.S. History Ig and U.S. History llg with English Vg and English Vlg. Histlish is a double period class taught by Mrs. Marilyn Dever. It included such projects as diaries on old paper, a Valentine theme, and a term paper. Miss Carolyn Griffin teaches a one period, one semester course called Etymology. Etymology students exam- ined Greek and Latin roots of English words. Miss Griffin said, Etymology is to enlarge the command of both spoken vocabulary and one ' s compre- hension of written material. Humanities, a senior elective taught by Mr. Fred Bennett, is another course in the Language Arts Department. This class gives students a taste of literary, governmental, historical, philosophical, artistic, and social components in the developement of Western Civilization. Humanities students study such works as Homer ' s Odyssey and Iliad and Dante ' s Divine Comedy. To supple- ment their classwork, Humanities stu- dents took field trips to Chicago and Cincinnati to visit various art and history museums and see other places of cul- tural interest. Humanities is a college type course taught in lecture style to prepare Manualites for their encoun ters with college classes in the future. Another Language Arts elective is Speech, taught by Mr. Carl Wright for juniors and seniors. The work which students do in Publications, which in- cludes both the yearbook and the Booster, the student newspaper, is also within the Language Arts program. When asked why he continued English after finishing the required six semesters, senior David Molloy com- mented, I enjoy creative writing and I also enjoy reading the works of great authors. We studied both in English Vllg and Vlllg. 26 Language Arts

ART gives color Art courses at Manual High School aided many students in improving their art endeavors. There is an art class for everyone. Craft Design was offered to students who just like general art. In there, stu- dents worked with clay, string, and yarn. They made slab art, pinch pots, and yarn rugs. Art Appreciation was a course for the history buff. Students studied art and how it had changed through the ages. In commercial art, students got a taste of the business world. Commercial art taught students lettering and adver- tising skills. Senior David Molloy took advanced art for three years because he wanted to develop his artistic ability. In ad- vanced art, students studied figures, lines, and continuous ink drawings. For the student who wanted to work with metal, jewelry was the class for them. Ceramic Design suited the stu- dent who wanted to work with clay. In Ceramic Design students learned how to graft clay and work on the potter ' s wheel. Art production was for the stu- dent who wanted to help design stage settings. 28 Art
