Departments Offered Forty-Three Units English During our four years of English the teachers have strived to develop in each of us an accuracy of self- expression. We were taught units in grammar and punctuation, writ- ing, and literature. These units have prepared 'us for communicat- ing effectively at college or work. This year the students were 'intro- duced to a new text, Enjoying English. Science By classroom discussion and laboratory experi- mentation students were en- lightened on the mysteries of science.

Spanish During the two years of Spanish, emphasis was placed on the spoken and written language. Students not only learned about the language but also learn- ed about the people who speak this language.
