Three years of regular English are compulsory to all students, and students on the academic and fine and practical arts diplomas are required to take two semesters of advanced English. Each May the English Department sponsors a poetry reading contest which is open to all stu- dents in the school. The reading laboratory is available to stu- dents for one semester and is helpful in increas- ing speed and comprehension. The library provides source materials for reports, term papers, re- search, and also books for pleasure reading. Journalism is another area of study included in the English Department. Students may choose to Work on either the Surveyor or the Post. This gives the students a good background in writing.
