22 T I 0lfl'l One fo LISTENING TO HAMLET'S SOLILOQUY The conception of the teaching of English is gradually changing from the purely academic presentation to the adaptation of English used in everyday situations. Every- thing we do or hear is influenced by our native tongue: our knowledge of correct Eng- lish aids us with spelling, the correct usage of words and punctuation is needed in the letters we write, the understanding and interpretation of words we use daily, and in conversation held with our friends. Grammar, literature, and expression are all taught in our English classes so that they may be used in our daily living. Just as reading, writing, and spelling taught in regular English classes are a part of our life, so are the newspapers, television, radio, and other means of entertain- ment and information occurring in our daily routine. Our journalism classes teach ex- pression of the written word as used in newspaper and magazine writing. Correct usage of microphones, poise before television cameras, proper appearance on the stage, and good diction and expression are taught in the drama and public speaking classes. Proof of the talent from these classes many often be seen in the assemblies or oratorical contests. The English Department takes into consideration every phase of the subiect which will be an aid all through life. Selected contributions from the various English classes have been especially chosen, and appear on the following pages. 'Reprint from the Lake re View f!

gll,l'L6lal'l'lQl'li6l 5 0 I WISH - To understand the birds and trees, To whisper softly to the breeze. To listen to the song of spring, To love and cherish everything. To know the language of a lamb, To see the wonders of the land. To talk to man and beast alike, To take myself oFl on a hike. To swim the waters of the lake, To know the beauty in a snake. To fly up high into the sky, To catch the clouds as they float by. To dance with the flowers and the weeds, To help Mother Nature plant the seeds. To brave the ocean and its waves, To talk with fish and sing with shells. To know the frogs that live in wells. To know the deer, the elk, the moose, To find caged animals, and let them loose. To end all wars and help build peace, To love our neighbors in the East. To tear down all destructive machines, To build a land of hopes and dreams. To do all this, and other things, ls what I wish in all my dreams. Mary Sanborn AB-7 AMENI' My gmbition is to be What my God expects of me, Not only faith in Him alone, But work in which my faith is shown. Work that gives God all the glory, Work that tells the wondrous story, That iust by Faith in Him We may conquer death and sin. My ambition is to be True and faithful, Lord, to Thee, My work shall show my faith in God, As along this road I trod, And, although it may be tearful, My heart no longer shall be fearful. Give me faith and strength, I pray, Lord make my ambition real today. Gerda Krueger IB-8 Study enhanced by visual aids. l al'l'll'l'lLlI aide .gil fl 0JUCQ6! ON FRIENDSHIP lt did not have a beginning, for a beginning brings an end, and it shall have no end. You say it must have had a beginning? Well, then, it began in my freshman year at Lake View. Here, at this institution of higher education, budded a friendship that shall continue to grow until it can grow no more. l have not prospered financially from it, but rather spiritually. lt has brought me peace of mind to know that during hard times, someone will stand beside me, whether we are together or a thousand miles apart. l could go on and state all the material things of life we have enioyed together, but it is that which you cannot touch that makes this friendship, lt shall never end.
