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.

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.

S., Berry College Math Department Offers Variety Eighth grade math, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Physics, Advanced Algebra, and Trigonometry compose the subjects taught in our math department. We'll admit that these subjects are pretty hard, but under the capable supervision of our teachers, we always managed to learn lots. Several of us represented Marietta High on television. We learned much interesting and valuable information about math, and we shall never forget this experience. Since almost a third of the College Entrance Examination consists of math problems, these subjects will enable us to be better prepared for college. Mrs. John Vickrey. Chairman A.
