Head of Remedial Department it 50 English Department Th P f rs of En lish at Grossmont, guided by the Solomon of the English Department, e ro esso g Mr Gross are diligently trying to instill into the unsuspecting heads of Grossmont students the capacity for speaking English fluently and appreciating great literature. Dedicated to d ' ses uid edalian speakers erudite thinkers and esoteric writers often proves try- pro ucing a p , , ina to Grossmont's learned and well-equipped staff. However, the loyal teachers will up- hold the King's English with the last drop of blood in any and every student's body. From h' t fortress of learning may be heard sounds of the imprisoned students struggling t is s rong in ascendant ranks who, by their courageous endeavor and undying persistence, finally, in the last battle, armed with a translation of Chaucer, knowledge of literary trends, a mastery f r and rhetoric have at last conquered Middle English, the influences of Bacon, o gramma , Shakespeare, and Milton, and the essence ol Keats, Dickens and Whitman, Within the . . . b d arched porticols of this imposing department remain the Olympian Arts yet to e conquere ' ears ruled by the Muse from whose mouth pours forth quotations from lusty in coming y , Chaucer, sublime Homer and profound Cervantes, with the greatest of gusto.

Although the maiority of students will concede the point that math is valuable, they will readily admit that the mental activity caused by its frequent ap- plication bears a strong resemblance to the painful process of thinking. Under depart- ment head Mr. Rusk, the cure-all for binom- ial blues frequently contracted by math STU- dents while doing homework is in a large capsule labeled, lf you think it's bad ngwl wait 'til college or, more commonly, Ngpgre the Work and spoil the grades . Even with the aid of such prescriptions, persevere.-r' 3 is the first prerequisite for a pupil's succesx rind a math teacher's iob.
