English is required in high school and in every field of higher learning. The proper learning is essential, so the courses of study in English at Meyers are in a sequence. The seventh and eighth grades are given a course in reading. This is done to increase speed and vocabulary and prepare the student for later studies. The following courses each year take in not only grammer, word usage, and punctuation, but also courses in foreign authors, novels, plays, and poetry. This broadens the mind, enhances the spirit, and stimulates the need for learning, which in the present day is so essential to the success of the individual. Basically, the purposes of the English Department are: To prepare the student for college and professions by building a founda- tion in the use of the English language. To help students realize the richness of vocabulary. To help. the student feel at ease in the classroom, to speale freely, and to voice his opinions. To encourage development of a sense of humor and a friendly attitude. To enable students to recognize, understand, and appreciate great pieces of literature. To guide the student to think, speak, and write in a clear, logical manner. To encourage independence of thought and an open-minded view. I E Listen, joyce speaks.

For senior high College Preparatory students biology, chemistry and physics are offered. Practical sciences are available to those who have no plans for college. eral science and begin biology in ninth grade.
