ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The versatility of thc DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH and its close correlation with every other department in the school has created a great demand for its services, sometimes in clearly defined areas, as in assembly presentations and in creative writing. The English agenda or curriculum has been designedto present an integrated, sequential program around units which concern themselves with themes of human relations which we believe ate important to all young people. The primary aims of the English Department are to help students speak effeo tively and correctly in all speech activities; to learn to listen fair the purpose of evaluating and acquiring knowledge, to read discriminatingly for enjoyment, for information, and for cultural enrichment; to Write correctly and state their ideas intelligibly; and to think clearly and broadly in the language and express their thoughts with a comprehensive vocabulary. Course offerings include English I, II, III, IV, with Drama, Speech I, Speech III, and Journalism as electives. There are four Reading Improvement classes on the ninth grade leveli Mr. W.
