ENGLISH ENCOURAGES SELF-EXPRESSION Many students are painfully familiar with the Senior English Review Exercises and its unending analogies and synonyms or with the verbatim interpretation of JULIUS CAESAR, HAMLET, or MACBETH. Less familiar are the drama, speech, and journalism courses also offered by the English department. The purpose of the drama program is to create an appreciation for theatrical productions, to prepare a background for literature, and to stimulate the student’s creativity. Assignments requiring much thought, as the portrayal of a widowed bride or personifying an emo- tion, make this elective far from an easy course. Not only concerned with dramatic interpretation, the course involves a study of the anatomy of the theatre. Two dramatic productions, usually a musical and two one-act plays, are sponsored by this department each year. Speech classes are offered to make the student feel at ease when speaking before a group. Not only are prepared speeches and debates required, but extempor- aneous ones with as little as five minutes notice. Journalism courses encourage creativity through the writing of news articles and factual essays. THE LITTLE HATCHET, George Washington’s literary magazine, and THE SURVEYOR, the school newspaper, are produced by this department Et tu, Stuarte,” gasps Marty Yingling fiercely to Stuart Samuels.

SNIDER JOINS PEACE CORPS After forty-seven years, twenty-one of them as a Senior English teacher at George Washington High School, Mrs. Mary Snider retired in June, 1964, and im- mediately joined the Peace Corps to teach English in Nigerian schools. She and 138 other volunteers took an extensive nine-week training course last summer at Columbia University Teachers College in New York. They were taught the history, culture, and traditions of Nigeria, and Bini, one of its principal languages. All of us are proud of Mrs. Snider and wish her well in this new chapter of an already interesting life.
