ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Since language is the most satisfactory way for one person to communicate his thoughts to another, it becomes essential that we learn to use our native language effectively in its various aspects. The correlation of the language arts program from the first to the twelfth grades has been the main objective of the English Department this year. 10

By studying foreign languages, it is felt a student can learn to ap- preciate the differences between his own culture and that of other people. This year the Language Department has emphasized the spoken language, rather than the written language in order to give the student a better understanding of what he hears, and to help him speak more fluently. Having acquired this basic understanding, the student is equipped with a background preparing him for further practical use of the lan- guage, or for more advanced study. 11
