drama and stage craft with Mr. Lord. We noticed that during our years in lingswood that more and more teachers were using film, using or making television programs, developing several kinds of visual and audio materials. By the time we graduated, we began to see that the English course was cally about several kinds of languages: that of kinesics, culture, visual pat- terns, sound symbols, and of course verbal symbols. So in six years we had 'irned to write and read Csome of us had help from Mrs. Judy Lavoiej, and ere a little closer to knowing what it means to be a human being.

Mr. Charles Churchill Mr. Lawrence Heath In English Classes . . . we met many different teachers fmostly malej and many teaching styles, yet a basic pattern ran through all the courses. In junior high we wrote haiku with the effervescent Mr. Lord and sat enthralled by Mr. Baintonls dramatic readingsg some of us became Super-girl or Super-boy in Mr. Buell's classes or worked on Scope crosswords with Mr. Ives. By grade 9, the Rev. Mr Heath made it clear as we read The Human Comedy that we were really in school to learn what it means to be a human being, and that we were study ing English to see how men have always expressed in language their truth: about themselves, about others, about the unknown, and about the world. As sophomores with the Rev. Mr. Wright or Mr. Al The Duke' Southard we tried to figure out why any poor native would throw back into the ocean that wonderful pearl. When Mr. Cool Coolidge worked with us on Ameri- can authors during our junior year, we got into some tough books and strug' gled to analyze them on four levels of difficulty. We did some role-playing with Mr. Chuck Churchill. Finally, as seniors, we found we really could understand Oedipus as well as the Bananafish,', and Mr. Quimby led us through the steps of analysis in written exposition. Some of us had special advanced courses in literature and composition with Mr. Bainton, or learned e QF!

Its tools are basic - old as time - modern as technology. Creative ability becomes a balance between patience, insight and personal criticism. History provides the mis- takes, the answers, and the raw Material for discovery. The art department can provide most of these. Skill, comes with time and personal initiative!
