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. Pat Taylor diagrams a difficult sentence. Page Ten

. . . while Social Studies Encourages Citizenship. What happened at Waterloo? Where is Timbuctu? What is Congress doing today? Since Groveton is located in the middle of history, both fnade and in the making, 840 students are taking advantage ' of a better-than-average opportunity of training in social studies. Every graduate of Groveton is required to complete three social studies programs—one each of United States and Virginia History and Government and another of either civics, World Geography, or World History. In-the-classroom projects are boosted by means of a movie projector, film-strip projector, maps, globes, charts, bulletin boards, and, new this year, an opaque projector. Field trips were also taken. Forty members of the American History classes traveled to Williamsburg for a view of that city and reconstructed Jamestown. Another day was spent by representatives of the government classes in visiting Congress in Washington. Carol Twig, Robert O’Mara, and Emily Leonard read current events for their Social Studies classes. wewsweeies . WMOt-fHI-MOVttl i.«- JIM MU 1 1 ' .!!
