tudents for Active Roles in Society An extensive English and foreign language program at Kelvyn Park helps students to develop their writing, reading, speaking, and reasoning abilities. Through a progressive study of grammar, composition, and liter- ature, the students learn how to express themselves and how to judge and appreciate the ideas of others. They are reminded constantly in their language arts courses of man's need to be able to communicate in order to understand and work profitably with his neighbor. In the Foreign Languages Department, students may select their studies from a variety of courses: French, German, Latin, and Spanish. Likewise, the English Department has a wide offer- ing of courses. Besides literary surveys, there are stud- ies in American, British, and world literature. Elec- tives include classes in drama, journalism, public speaking, and rapid reading. Many co-curricular activities fall within the scope of the Language Arts Departments. School publica- tions, language clubs, senior plays, and a variety of creative writing projects complement the work stu- dents study in their classes. WITH THE HELP of a rapid reading machine, Judy McAdams works intently to increase her reading speed. PUBLIC SPEAKING students Susan Gaul, and Sharon Schweizer act out the roles of an interviewer and a typical student. SPANISH LANGUAGE student Walter Egebergh puts his class through a vocabulary drill with the aid of a flip-chart.
