Teacher: No, but you can use the objective case after it. iStudent with puzzled look on his face.l Teacher: You look as it you don't understand! The above conversation is characteristic of the difficulty in- voived in learning to speak and write correct English. Besides pro- viding the teaching of grammar, the English class is the course where past and present-day literature is taught: where self-conscious- ness is replaced by poise and a relaxed state of mind in giving a speech, where themes and essays become less of a chore, because one has learned correct punctuation, capitalization, and grammatical usage of the English language. 8

Textbooks and magazines are what you'll study and use in your social study and history classes, taught by Mr. Nick, Mr. Hermanson, and Mr. Carlson in senior high, and Miss Sundahl and Miss Hafdahl in iunior high. Textbooks and magazines such as Time, Newsweek, and Senior Scholastic are the basic materials used to inform the senior social studies students about national and world problems. The year's study is divided into American government, sociology, and economics. Eleventh grade American history concentrates on the discovery, exploration, and civili- zation of America up to our present day. Sophomore World history mainly acquaints the student with past and present European pro- blems and the effects on our country. World Week, the periodical used by the Sophomores, is comparable on a slightly lower level to the Senior Scholastic. Seventh and eighth grade social studies give an overview of all the social studies, with an emphasis on history of the state and country. Current event periodicals are used in most of the social studies classes. ln using them, the student is kept up to date on world problems, which otherwise might be overlooked by the student. John H.

Culture and Communication Appreciation of music, acquired through the study of composers, scales, tones, and musical terms, is the obiective of the seventh and eighth graders in the required music classes taught by Miss Halvorson, who also gives violin lessons to those desiring them. Optional vocal lessons are given to students by Mr. Summer- side, director of the high school choir and music supervisor ofthe public elementary schools. Five minutes to three the band room becomes a iumble of voices and instrument tune-ups. At 3:00 the band is fairly well settled, so Mr. Harmon, the band director, takes over for the hour. He also gives instrumental lessons to students wishing them. Art, taught by Miss Troumbly, is a living thing. Boys and girls are made to understand that selection and judgement, as well as creativity, are important. This subiect, required of iunior high stu- dents, teaches them an appreciation of design, form, color, painting, and other fine arts. Telling children's stories was one of the assignments in Miss Hoffman's speech classes. fOn this particular assignment, Mike Haiostek told a story, after which a small child rushed home and said, Mike Hockey-Stick told us stories todaylui Radio plays for different occasions are given by members of the class over KTRF and the public address system directly to the student body. However, the main obiective of speech class is concentrated on helping the student develop speaking ability. Frank N. Summerside High School Vocal Music, Grade Robert S.
