English Qourses loimtfanitm what The English Department, boast- ing fourteen teachers, is the largest faculty group on campus. Because four years of English are required, every'student is influenced by these teachers. A special responsibility lies on them, then, fo develop commun- ications skills through an effective program . . . to motivate, to stimu- late, to explain, to assign, to evalu- ate. Miss Nell Thrift, Mrs. Sandra Johnson, Miss Shirley Chadwick, and Mrs. Linda Tilton earn the Glamour Award for the English Department. English teachers compare the results of their students' efforts. They are Mrs. Nelle Choate, Mrs. Virginia Bent- ley, Mrs. Edna Lee, and Miss Virginia Davis. Courses, in addition to the tradi- tionally required, include Journal- ism l and ll, Bible Literature, speech, and business English. A new project is the operation of a paperback bookstore for the convenience of the students. The Tam O' Shanter, prize-winning literary magazine, is also sponsored by this group. The English program seeks to develop the language abilities of every stu- dent to the limit of his potential. MISS HAZEL HALEY Head of English Department 30
