English, Isn't It the Most! GLORIA SCHMIDT English III. State Xormal, US. ROYAL SMALL English Missouri Univ., A.II. VIRGINIA STAHR English III. State Normal, B.S. PATRICIA WAGNER Speech Northern III., IIS. MARY WALKER English Bradley Univ., A.A., B.A. The English course consists of three main lines of study. When speaking of English, grammar is the first thing that comes to mind. Grammar is the study of correct usage of the English language, the most useful subject a person can take. Closely related to grammar is speech. Speech helps in the development of better speaking habits and also gives the student more experience and more self-confi- dence in public speaking. The last of the three is literature. Literature acquaints the student with different types of prose and poetry and also gives some interesting tips on the lives of authors. The Westward Movement was brought to life in Mrs. Schmidt’s Junior English class. Phyllis Traub holds the attention of the students with her demonstration speech on preparing a meal. 12
