Academics Effective communication is the key offered in English, French and journalism English courses are offered for the college-bound student and the high school graduate. Their main purposes dre to help the student understand what he reads, com¬ prehend what he hears, and express himself in speech and writing. Teachers of the English courses are Miss Edith Jackson, Mrs. Betty Timberlake, and Mrs. Jane Wil¬ der. The Language Department atFranklinton High School emphasizes oral and written communication. It includes English I, II, III, and IV, French I and II, and journalism. The French classes at Franklinton High School use films, records, and books for outside material. The purposes of French I and II are to help the students to read, write, and speak a foreign language. Miss Edith Jackson teaches both French I and II. The journalism class, taught by Mrs. Timberlake, is new at Franklinton High School this year. The course is designed to help the student become a bet¬ ter writer, reader, individual, and ultimately, a better citizen. The students work on the yearbook and school newspaper. They write copy, crop pictures, lay out pages and proofread. Skills in co-operation, organization, and leadership are gained through group work. Such traits as tact, initiative, and punc¬ tuality are also developed. A 4
