English EOPLE often judge a new acquaint- ance not only by his polish or polite- ness but also by his manner of speaking, that is, by his use of the English language. This is frequently the case when applying for a position, whether it be as a secre- tary, newspaper reporter, or assembly-line operator. Therefore the study of the Eng- lish language lnot the crazy-mixed-up slanguagel can be a great aid to us, lt is interesting to see how the language changes as in the case of the word ain't which now appears in the dictionary. lt may be surprising to note in time to come, what other new verboten words will be included in it. Literature also plays an important part in our daily life, for, through reading we become acquainted with people, ideas, and philosophy. Under the tutelage of our English staff, headed by Miss Barth, we are increasing our word power and our ability to express ideas clearly as well as becoming ac- qainted with the lasting works of literature.

Clerks and Secretaries N important role in our school is played by our secretaries and clerks. Efficiency in the oftices is to a large extent due to them. Under their care are such matters as typing notices and letters, typing and tiling accurate accounts of records, adiusting and planning schedules and taking telephone messages. These people are ever ready to give infor- mation and to assist in scheduling appointments for meetings with the guidance counselors. First to arrive in the morning and last to leave at night, they serve as right hands to the staff. Which one shall it be? Miss Merrick and Miss Ronnermann in Office Five

Citizenship Education N the busy and ever-changing world of today, Citizenship Education is an essential part cf the school curriculum. During his stay at Hemp- stead, the student is exposed to the full gamni of history from ancient to modern times. ln order to broaden his understanding, the student makes special reports and engages in panel discussions in classes which are informa- tive, stimulating, and informal, The study of history is the study of cycles and recorded events of what notions and men have done. Thus a student is made aware of his debt to society for the wealth of his heritage and cul- ture which better prepare him for the role ot an informed and responsible citizen. -43,44 My JIQSQQA, V 'mek , ' 'wffffgf f 1.
