The English Department at Madison High School tries to lead each student to think for himself, to think critically, to love good literature, and to express himself orally and in writing clearly, correctly, and effectively. In each grade the student studies, with his class, various types of literature through an anthology. He is also encouraged to read widely both classical and contemporary literature. He studies the structure of his language in order to understand better what he reads as well as to speak and write in an acceptable manner. In these ways it is hoped that he will be able to communicate clearly with his fellow man. For Juniors and Seniors who show special interest, courses are offered in Journalism, Speech, and Humanities. Thus the student is able to broaden his knowledge and skills in seeking a liberal education. Mrs. Wiatt Mrs. Whitman 10 This is For . . . What? What - Me Worry?
