Without a doubt the English Department has the most important job of any group in tlce school. During 'he four years at Leo the well of English literature is explored from Shakes- peare to Monsignor Sheen. Besides the reg- ular class periods the cultivation of the lan- guage is encouraged in such noteworthy events as the annual oratorical contest and the school play. The Lion would like fo congratulate this department on a job well done. Kev. Er. G. F. Wakeham, Rev. Br. j. V. Birmingham, Mr. F. lenks, Rev. Br. T. P. Treacy. ' v Rev. Br. C. A. Murphy, Rev. Br. l.
