English Offers Wide Variety Of Courses Every individual has a basic need to communicate. Communication involves language — written, oral or silent. One of the goals of the department is to help students communicate more effectively. Students need to think, to feel, to concentrate, to listen, to express. The English department is the largest department in the school and offers students basic, optional and elective courses in various areas of speech drama, reading litera- ture, and grammar composition. Students are taken to see plays and convos and the college, and outside speak- ers are brought into class. This year and in past, Man- chester students have won honors in creative writing, speech, and filmmaking.

Manchester High School realizes that there is a need for international cooperation, that understand- ing between nations comes only from learning of other people through their language and culture. It is necessary for more Americans to be bi-lingual. Ideal- ly, everyone should be able to speak at least one foreign language fluently. According to a survey sponsored for the Modern Language Association in January 1975, 56.3 per cent business men considered foreign language useful in their business, 33 per cent would pay more to persons with foreign language skills, and 60.5 per cent would give such persons preference in hiring. Manchester High School has offered this year two languages for the student: Spanish up to four years of study and French for two years. With the aid of our language laboratory stu- dents’ fluency in the language is increased. 3. Cindy Harvey, Maria Cooper, Steve Naragon, Bill Leonhard help 1.
