The Language Arts Department en- velops not only the study of English grammar and literature, but also reading and Spanish. This depart- ment is the largest at Lindley, and it employs nine teachers. The de- partment is drafting a syllabus to be used at all grade levels in future years. Monthly department meetings are a means of discussing problems and formulating new ideas . Emphasized in the area of grammar study are the fundamental rules of composition. The students are urged to be creative through their writingg in the upper level classes the assignments deal with abstrac- tions as well as tangibles.

The Language Arts Department strives to enrich the student's cul- tural interests and his appreciation for his own language and literature.
