Whether among these are Mr. Komar's Print Shop students is a question which has probably never been seriously considered. They have probably never thought of it them- selves. Moreover, as a result of the instruc- tion, training, and practical experience they get in our print shop some of them later find a place for themselves in a commercial printing establishment. Thus the service our print shop renders has several aspects--all of them highly valuable. Waaier grahamen O! j0l0'I,0l l 0lfU Boys in Mr. Tobin's Wood- shop become masters of their craft. At least some of them do. The items they produce are definitely useful. At best they also have artistic qual- ities. Pieces of furniture turned out by Mr. Tobin's students are tangible and creditable evidence of the skill the boys who made them have acquired. In some cases they bespeak also extraordinary perseverance and determination. The train- ing young men receive in our woodshop combined with their related natural aptitudes en- able some of them to become carpenters, cabinet makers, and the like. Some choose a voca- tion based on their aptitudes and their woodshop experi- ence. Others adopt a useful hobby in the general field of working with wood. Anyway they seem to like the roomy and well-equipped shop. They enjoy being there, working there, and learn- ing there. The instruction they receive from their teacher, Mr. Komar, en- ables them to print the numerous and various forms needed in such a large and complex operation as that of Englewood High School.

Xxx NNN XXX jke Saeciaf .xdppeaf jrenckp For centuries French has been a favorite second or third language among cultured people the world over. And no wonder. It is limpid and beautiful in sound. Then, too, French literature, scientific writings, and philosophical works are equally distinctive in various ways. One of their outstanding qualities is lucidity. This is notably true at least of some of France's most characteristic. novels, plays, and essays. Another quality that is especially French is the cultivation of a highly civilized attitude. For such reasons and others, French is steadily gaining in popularity among Englewood students. An uppermost reason for this is the enthusiastic regard felt for the French language, French literature, and French generally by Mr. Wloodson-Levey, chairman of our foreign language department. This enthusiasm is shared warmly, moreover, by our teachers of French-Miss Coggins and Mrs. Reed. That lively spirit, moreover, has passed on to our students, it seems. The photos on this page bear eloquent testimony to this gratifying development.

OP? CLI16! Pdtltu 0 AN OPEN LETTER TO MY HIGH SCHOOL Dear Englewood, My sojourn here has been the greatest experience of my life. I have trod through your halls of glory and I have cheered you on to victory. I have stood firmly behind you and staunchly against the forces which have sought to dim your radiant glory and rob you of your dignity. Oh, Englewood, you are such a great part of me and I shall remember forever the light of knowl- edge that yo-u brought into the darkness of my ignorance. You have brightened the way and as I begin my climb up the ladder of success your glory will spur me on. Through the years, dear Englewood, you have passed down to me a great heri- tage of scholastic achievement and ath- letic accomplishment. You have endeav- ored to instill in me a sense of values and integrity. You have stood by me when- ever your help was needed. In turn, I shall do my best to preserve your honor and to keep your banners raised high. Oh, my dearest Englewood! I shall never forsake thee! All that I am and all that I shall ever become will bear the impress of your in- fluence and guidance. Your noble towers shall be retained in glory in the chambers of my memory and will forever be a source of inspiration in my every endeavor. When I leave you it will be with best wishes and I shall rest assured that for countless years to come you will continue to impart the knowledge and instill the same high values for generations to come as those you have instilled in me. ,G Sharon Leslie
