At Washington, teachers of English not only help students keep straight prepositions and pronouns but acquaint them with famous works in literature. Public speaking, drama, iournalism, and literature classes offer courses for enrichment. Students find oppor- tunities to apply English language knowledge in special contests for writing, speaking, and acting. Awards came easily for Generals.
