Andrew T Movnihan Head of English Department Harvard A.B. Boston University Ed. M. Eng. Comp. Lawrencian Having the distinction of being the most widely spoken language in the world, English is also the most difficult to master. The aim of the Lawrence High School English Department is to produce young men and women who know their language, and who therefore have the ability to express themselves in either the written or spoken word with clarity and distinctness. To master a language, any language, takes long and concentrated work—and so it is with English. Word building, rules of grammar, w ; de. wide reading and extensive writing of paper after pap°r produce the complete American. The abilitv to communicate is not, in itself, enough. Communication must be intelligent, explicit a n d thorough in a world where there isn’t time to read anything twice. Our English Department wants its grad¬ uates to be right the first time! Daniel J.
