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.

She is and always will be known as a shrewd, intelligent, prepared, and dedicated person. Miss Kretschis concern for high school students and faculty is supreme. A few of her many duties while teaching at Enid High school include, sponsoring the pep club, helping with assembly programs, sponsoring the QUILL annual for many years, and for the past 31 years serving as head of the English department. She has maintained the high standards for Enid students that have made them desirable for institutions of higher learning. A faculty member summed it up, f'Not only has she a wonderful mind for her work, but she has the most sensitive mental perception of any person we've ever MISS KRETSCH TALKS with Barbara VVhitlow, senior, and her sisters, Gayle and Judy, and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Whitlow during Open House.
