A knowledge of effective English—reading, writing, speak- ing, listening—is a vital part of eac h student’s life: thus, the curriculum is designed to meet this need. Correlated subjects— developmental reading, speech, drama, Journalism I, II, and Ill—are offered to encourage each student to develop his potentialities. The developmental reading program is designed for the student who wishes to increase his speed and comprehension as well as for the poor reader. The drama students learn to express themselves through speaking and dramatics while the speech students learn tone, inflection, and modulation’ of the voice. The Journalism I and II class publishes the Venture, the monthly school newspaper; and the Journalism III class publishes the Saga, the school yearbook. To make learning more enjoyable the curriculum includes nongraded English for seniors. Mrs. Mae High, English II, Drama, and Speech, makes up Janet Evans for a skit which will be presented to her drama class. 127
