We learn to express ideas clearly A person must try to discover the truth about himself if he is to live a responsible life. By reading the works of great writers, both foreign and American, he becomes more aware of hu- man potential and how he can lit himself rc- wardingly into life’s pattern. Our high school English class is not the place where drill in “readin’ and Vitin’ is the expected daily chore. Our teachers arc more interested in developing the “whole” student, in rounding out his true personality. This year freshmen not only learned their grammar and literature, but also brushed up on their “P’s and Q’s” with a project on eti- quette. Bulletin larards were splashed with a colorful parade of posters and cartoons depict- ing manners at the table, in the home, and on dates. Imaginative frosh also created original personal and historical dramatic skits which were later presented in assembly. Sophomores took a brief journey into Roman days with their study o! “Julius Caesar.” “Les Miserables,” poetry, and short stories rounded out their year s curriculum. Besides their emphasis on the development ot American literature, juniors investigated possi- ble future careers. The Drexel and Kuder Pref- “Remember—only one 'V in ’untilY' warns . .

A job in which we are happy is our aim Lansdowne-Aldan's commercial department offers a varied and well-rounded program for students who plan to enter the business world after graduation. After several introductory courses in his fresh- man and sophomore years, a student may select either the secretarial, clerical or Miss Mildred Ankeny's distributive education program as a field for further concentration. Only the college preparatory course remains more popular; how- ever, year after year, college-bound pupils turn to the commercial department for basic skills ).
