Correct Engli hl A eeessity In An Career Students in Enid High School are taught grammar and literature in such a manner that the last three years of the twelve required years are not only enjoy- able but are the best liked class of many of the students. Films, records, and re- ports are a few of the things used by the English teachers to add interest to the classes. Besides studying literature students are taught the correct usage of the English language, a must in any line of endeavor. For students especially interested in other phases ol English, classes are of- fered in speech, debate, radio, drama, and news-Writing, which may be taken as an elective the senior year. The teachers ol this department, head- ed by Miss Charlotte Kretsch, meet peri- odically to discuss the most up-to-date methods of presenting to the students these classes in an interesting and efiec- tive way. MISS CHARLOTTE KRETSCH, head of the English department, pauses while Mr. Selby reads some of his lavorite selections to the third hour Ameri- can Literature class.

EDITH PINKERTON Enid Sees Change In Selection of a new superintendent of schools, a new high school principal, and replacement for the person chosen principal were problems facing the Enid board of education, following the resignation of DeWitt Waller on October 9, 1958. The problem, one not presented the board since Mr. Waller took the position in l934, was solved with the appointment of Dr. Carl E. Wagner, Hickman Mills, Missouri, following more than two months of interviews, out-of-town trips, and studies to find the man most suitable for the position. With the appointment of D. Bruce Selby to the position of administrative assistant to the superin- tendent of schools, board members were faced with a new problem. That was securing a man to fill the principal's vacancy at the high school and was solved by choosing 0. T. Autry, principal of Emerson and pre- viously football coach and athletic director at Enid high. A coach for the Big Blue teams was also needed after the resignation of Marvin Vandaveer, football coach and athletic director.
