Luther High School South - Shield Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

Page 15 text:

The curriculum at Luther South differs from that of public schools in that religion plays a dominant role. Students participate in weekly chapel services in the gym conducted by guest pastors from various Lutheran churches. A short message is delivered on other days over the public address system. Formal religion courses include instruction in the Old and New Testaments, Church History, and Christian Doctrine. The Meditation Chapel, which is open to students and faculty members at all times,provides a peaceful atmosphere for private worship. Evi- dence of this religious instruction, participation, and appreciation can easily be seen in the students' daily lives. Rev. Elmer Sedory Religion IV Mr. Carl Stedman Religion III Mr. Richard F.

E CLISI-I Mr. Norman Iltech Department Head English IV Mr. Brantley Alexander English I Miss Marilyn Beyer English III 1-, Ja The main purpose ofthe English department of Luther South is to equip the student for mature and proper usage of the English language. A speech course develops the student's ability of self expression, while it also prepares him for communication in an adult society. The study of literature gives students an appreciation of America's literary heritage as well as an appreciation of good reading material. Instruction in composition and grammar teaches the student to represent himself effectively and rationally in the written and spoken word. The library becomes the second classroom.
