lay reader plan increases writing experrbnces for students The Language Arts Department combined creative writing, vo- cabulary development, and classical and modern literature by giving students the opportunity to take four years of English and a choice of French, Spanish, or Latin. The Lay Reader Program was intro- duced into the English Department to give teachers an opportunity to assign more written work. Mrs. Myers, senior C. P. English teacher, attended the humanities workshop at the National Council of Teach- ers of English Convention. The purpose of this convention was to en- liven the teaching of English. In the freshman year students who wished to increase their understanding of foreign lands and culture elected Latin, Spanish, or French. Latin students studied Cicero and Vergil's Aeneid. Stu- dents in French ll read Around the World in Eighty Days, and the third and fourth year French classes translated The Count of Monte Cristo. Spanish classes presented dramatic skits and gave impromptu speeches which characterized Spanish fiestas and customs. Leona Bobin Ruth Boots Eugene Boschini Paul Burrows E.
