English Constructs the Cornerstone of Learning English truly does construct the cornerstone of learning. Without a clear understanding of all the communicative skills, one loses his vantage point and gropes in the dark- ness of ignorance. I J .Mfs English department endeavors to undermind this ignorance by masterminding English interest through understanding. Fortunately English is inescapable. It is compulsory that each student take one English course per year, seventh through twelfth grades. In English one develops the ability to think and com- municate through study and practice, with time given' to the study of language mechanics, including sentence con- struction, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary. One is also introduced to a great deal of literature thus receiving a sound knowledge of authors including O'Henry, Browning, Scott, Poe, Dickerson, Melton, Elliott, and Shakespeare. The department offers additional courses which are de- signed to convince students that the skillful use of language is achieved through entertaining study. These courses are: Great Books, a supplementary course for advanced' 12th graders, explores the great literature, their text as well as their reflection on modern times. The second course, Journalism, is taken along with the regular English course and aims to instill a special want and need for the- correctly written wordf' When a senior leaves John Marshall, he has an English cornerstone, capable of supporting a wealth of knowledge. 23
