In all English courses in grades seven through twelve, a study of literature accompanies the study of grammar. Seniors may elect English litera- ture in addition to composition. As students work on essential grammar and spelling, teachers urge them to strive for proficiency in speaking, listening, writ- ing, reading, observing, and critical thinking. Miss Flautt makes an assignment for special reports to senior comp stu- dents Fan Ballard and Jimmy Brown.

Mr. Patterson instructs French students Maureen Smith and Mary Louise Haff ey concerning the proper use of laboratory equipment. Two years of Latin and Spanish, and three years of French are offered McComb students. Through the study of a language students gain knowledge of a country’s culture and history and learn of its contributions to the fields of art, litera- ture, and philosophy. They discover in the study of Latin a valuable key to understanding English grammar. They soon become aware of the borrowing of their own language from foreign tongues and realize the importance of proficiency in speaking and writing Romance lang- vages. Our language laboratory provides a way for students to compare their pro- nunciation and intonation with that of an adept speaker. The laboratory method enables teachers to become more aware of the students’ individual errors and to give each person special assistance. % Laboratory instruction in Spanish is stressed to achieve a practical use of the language—Karen Spinning, Stevie Bond, Barbara Jones, Danny Harrell, Johnny Dykes, Robert Whittington, Earl Hayslip, Charlene Varnell.
