To Interested Students The English department at MHS serves to build its students in many areas, and gram- matical excellence is approached through several courses. Grammar is foremost, but other courses include composition, speech, journalism, and literature. Spelling is a part of most of the courses of study, and it aids in enrichening the student,s vocabulary. Some students may boast of accomplish- ments in public speaking, as others see their literary talents recognized in the form of hav- ing articles published in the school newspaper. Working toward the same goal, communica- tion, the foreign language department seeks to build onto the education of those students who are attracted to many of the foreign languages offered at MHS. Through German, French, Spanish, and Latin the students are readied for life with our foreign friends. They study native customs as well as the language of the country. Also, many students find that two years of a foreign language gives them a good foundation for many other subjects in school.

Students study difficulties arising from environment, man's develop- ment pattern, and humankind,s background. Through the history courses, students are able to learn of man's progress through the ages. World and U.S. history each trace a part of our own heritage through the years.
