English Aids Development in Self Expression . . . The Shakespearian Theatre seems to interest Bill Pickering and A1 Pasquali as they examine a Senior bulletin board. Amy Degan calls out the spelling words and Susan Bradley and Jan Brown concentrate on getting them right. Mrs. Dolozik demonstrates the power of expression to her Dramatics class. Ever since one general said to the other, “Do you say the enemy is coming or the enemy are coming?”, stu¬ dents have been studying English. Every member of Grove- ton’s student body is required to take English each year. Beginning with English I and continuing through Eng¬ lish IV, Grovetonites explore English grammar, practice creative writing, read the works of literary masters from all over the world, and gain a good speaking vocabulary in their home language. Perhaps the theaters of the world will be recruiting their players from members of our dramatic and public speaking classes of our English Department. Students in the dramatic groups learn the ropes of the theatrical world; the public speaking classes discuss the world situation and often try to solve it—in flag-waving speeches of course.
