GLISH Lower School: The child is introduced to the rudiments of the English language by acquainting him with the sound, the appearance, the formation, and the meaning of the symbols it employs, by detailing the need to organize these symbols into coherent, intelligent, and logical vehicle for communication. An understanding and appreciation for the limitless variety of ways in which these symbols are used in the literature of the language is cultivated. Middle School: Throughfrequentevaluation,the teachers determine the level of each student's competency and work with him to improve his manipulation and understanding of the English language. The program strives for relevancy. As reading, grammar, literature, history, and science merge, the student's skills and concepts begin to connect, and thus, acquisition of knowledge becomes more fulfilling. -Use of the library is taught and cultivated on each grade level in cooperation with the Mrs. Christine Eastus Chairman of Language Arts Department, Upper School English Miss Genie Ballard Third Grade Language Arts Mr. John Beall Upper School English Mr. Jack Clifford Fifth Grade Reading Mrs. Laurie Cumming Fourth Grade English Ms. Leta Davis Third Grade Language Arts Mrs. Barbara Erwin Sixth Grade Language Arts Mrs. Doris Gonzales Eighth Grade Language Arts Mrs. Barbara Gunnin Seventh Grade Language Arts Mrs. Karen Hagood Sixth Grade Language Arts Mrs. Timmi Kuykendall Upper School English Mrs. Joan McDole Fifth Grade Language Arts Mr. Jeffery Nordgren Eighth Grade Reading Mr. Peter Norris Upper School English Mr. Julian Smith Seventh Grade Language Arts Mr. Richard Williams Upper School English, Psychology Yes, I am a sailor man 14 librarians.

We constantly utilize our students' knowledge ofnot only history, but also psychology, philosophy, and science to make literature more relevant and meaningful. We use geometry as a model for writing, we employ art as the visual representation of the various literary schools, and we relate music to poetry. Naturally, we are avid users of all libraries. We squeeze the universe into a ball, to roll it toward some overwhelming question . . . Wiz-Quiz, Quiz-Wiz, Wiz-Quiz
