Woodard B.S., College of William and Mary M.S., University of Chicago English Sponsor: Publications, Quill and Scroll Language Because English is the basic element in a school curriculum, Kecoughtan offers a variety of courses designed to meet the needs and ambitions of its entire student body. The English classes offer work in grammar, essays, short stories, novels, poems, and plays. This department, with Mrs. Elizabeth Woodard as chairman, pro- vides regular, college preparatory, and ad- vanced courses in English. Mrs. Woodard and Mrs. Lee Robinson co-operated in a team teaching program. This innovation proved very successful for both teachers and students. A special class in Humanities was introduced this year under the supervision of Miss Gayle Lem- mond. The course offers an introduction to philosophic thinking as related to art, science, and philosophy itself. The Drama course, with Mr. Johnny Meadows as instructor, provides the stu- dents with a knowledge of stage tech- niques and terminology, and practice in acting. Other courses offered in this de- partment as electives are Speech and Journalism. These classes provide stu- dents with opportunities to learn public speaking techniques, and to produce a newspaper. Faculty and students take pride in the quality and variety of subject material offered in the Language Arts department. Miss Jane G.
