Words, when well chosen, have so great a force in them that a description often gives us more lively ideas than the sight of things themselves. — Joseph Addison ( The Spectator) With the emphasis on composition skills and vocabulary development, the English Department tries to give its stu- dents a good understanding of the Eng- lish Language. It is one of the few Eng- lish Departments to have a structured composition program. In previous years, the department required that the students write three compositions per marking period followed by revisions. This year in each marking period there must be two compositions with revision and the option of one without. The composition without revision would be in the form of a book report or an essay test. The change in policy made it pos- sible to give the teachers greater flexi- bility in their assignments. In addition to the departmental com- position program the vocabulary pro- gram has continued. The major objec- tive of this program, which had been instituted by the Board of Education, helps to expose students of all levels to a greater number of words.
