Mrs. Nateman contemplates her daily schedule. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AIMS AT APPRECIATION English, the only required four year subject taught at Madison, encompasses more than grammar, composition, and literature. Dra¬ ma, speech, reading, and journal¬ ism are electives which come un¬ der the broad realm of our native tongue. From these varied courses the English Department hopes to provide enjoyment, as well as un¬ derstanding, for the Madison stu¬ dent body. This year many En¬ glish teachers departed from the traditional study of English — genre, or units — and explored a thematic approach to the lan¬ guage. In this new study, prose, poetry, and other facets of litera¬ ture are discussed and analyzed for the ideas that they contain. Also, Madison is one of the few schools that has an Advanced Placement English course, which speaks well of our student body. Films and other audio-visual aids have augmented the already com¬ prehensive English curriculum. Mrs. Bernice Blosser English Mrs. Bonny L. Bowman English Mary Washington College of U.
