English Department Creative writing has been encouraged in the English department this year by various essay projects and by the publication, through the second- year journalism class, of a magazine of the best creative work in the four classes. The usual exercise books have been eliminat-ed from all English classes, including the weekly M. O. S. book in the senior class-, due to financial conditions and the shortened school year. The book club, organized in the freshman English class last year by Mr. Youmans, has been carried on this year as the sophomore book club, with Mr. Youmans as advisor. The English department has been well represented' in outside activ- ities, three of the teachers acting as class advisors and one as Girls' League advisor. Mrs. Smith, the advisor of the Orange and Black News and an- nual, also teaches journalism, which has been divided into two cl-asses this year because of the increasing demand for this subject.
