Juniors as they develop 1 1 LasterJLan guage SUL In harmony with a functional curriculum, the English department strives to use effective methods in correlating the facts of subject mat- ter with actual experience. Radio broadcasting, news writing, and play acting are devices used to make subject matter more vital in terms of life outside the classroom. And no matter what Ihe type of work a per- son does during his life, his command of writ- ten and oral English is always an advantage to him. The supporting structure of the English lan- guage is yet found in the study of the root tongues of Latin and German. Through these the student gets a peek at for- eign culture and societies plus a firmer under- standing of his own language. He is broad- ened by the formation of new moral, intellec- tual, and artistic senses. WHAT THE DICKENS? Engrossed in A Tale of Two Cilies are Rulh Beaver.
