English, Student Council WATKINS, HORTENSE, M.A. English, Future Teachers' Club Mrs. Rousseau breaks in a new English text. Emphasizing creativity in composition, better use of gram- mar, and a fuller understanding of literature are only a few of the objectives of the English classes. Sophomores read from selected authors while juniors study American literature, and seniors delve into the works of English writers. Six weeks of grammar are also included in each semester's work of the sophomore and junior classes. The addition of new literature textbooks for all grades has con- tributed toward making study even more interesting. For those who wished to develop their skills further, two extra classes were added this year. Special reading-improve ment courses were available for those desiring to increase their speed. An advanced course, English 8x, was renewed for high seniors. In this class material is covered more rapidly, and a greater emphasis is put on composition. Journalism classes study all aspects of newspaper re- porting, using the Bagpipe as their guide. The cubs read exchange papers, cover football games, and are trained to write headlines, news stories, and features, and to make up pages. Overcoming self-consciousness and developing the per- sonality are keynoted in the five speech classes at Hi Park. Theater philosophies, acting techniques, and advanced stag- ing are a few of the things featured in the new Speech 4.
