The English Department, headed by chairman Ernest DeSantis, is one that is familiar to every student. Not only does this department include English fundamentals and grammar, but it also teaches the basic principles of oral and written composition, and acquaints the student with the field of literature. Outside reading and book reports cover biographies, novels, and plays, classic and contemporary alike, which are written by foreign authors as well as by Americans. Journalism, speech, and drama arc offered as electives. Journalism students learn the basic elements in the production of newspapers and develop skills in preparing articles for publication. Speech offers a chance to gain self-confidence, while at the same time it strengthens speaking and listening abilities. Drama is designed to include a wide variety of areas, such as play structure, types of plays, principles of acting, and pantomime. Besides being educational, most students find these subjects very interesting and enjoyable. • Next word — Broomwcirdcnboning.” CURTIS ANDERSON English 10 MARY PHELAN English 11, Journalism JOHN ELLIOTT English 12 EVELYN MO English 12, Latin 13
