Miss Clara Nolen A. B., Athens College, Alabama Mrs. H. D. Askew, Chairman A. B., G. S. C. W. Study is Varied 3 Oh, no! Are book reports due again? This is quite familiar among the English students. We are required to give a book report at least once every six weeks. Even though we may complain occasion- ally, we realize that this helps us in many ways. We learn to write themes and essays, quote prose and poetry, and make public speeches in literature. In grammar we are taught correct punctuation, and how to construct clear, correct and forceful sentences. In eighth, ninth, and tenth grade English more time is spent on grammar than on literature.

The Administration The administration has served Us well. They have earnestly strived to achieve all that is good for the school and the individual student. Again our school has been under the capable supervision of Mr. Antley, our city superintendent. He has done much to put our school on the top of the list. We have been very fortunate to have Mrs. Swain as our principal for the eighth year. Through patience and interest, she has helped us mold our lives for the future. This is Mr. McCampbell's first year as assistant principal. His will- ingness to help us with our problems will always be remembered. Mrs. Fred Swain Principal Mr. Shuler Antley Superintendent 13 Mr. Bill McCampbel1 Assistant Principal

IF' Mrs. James Gentry A. B., University of Georgia In English Classes our junior and senior years, we study American and English literature and spend less time on grammar. Many audio-visual aids contribute to our work in this department. While studying speech during our junior year, all students' voices are recorded and emphasis is placed on improving them. Many Films are shown each year and students' papers are enlarged on the screen by using the opaque projector. Since the correct use of our language is so essen- tial in all we do, our classes are varied enough to meet the needs of each individual student. WWE t Miss Ann Arnold A. B., G. S. C. W.
