English Department Claims NCTE Winner Miss Moore points out to her class various char- acters from the novels of Charles Dickens. English teachers often encourage students to read aloud both in unison and individually. Oral reading promotes correct pronunciation and good grammer. The department places emphasis on writing, too. In the three years at Murphy, a student is taught practical usage of grammer along with the informa- tive and exciting course of literature. Authors rang- ing from the ancient Creek Homer to the contem- porary John Steinbeck are studied. World litera- ture, creative writing, dramatics, and speech are elective courses which the English department of- fers to the student who aspires to obtain a better foundation in English. MRS.

Social Science Department Instructs Voices are raised each morning as students and faculty repeat the Pledge of Allegiance. This exem- plifies one of the many freedoms the Social Science department impresses on Murphy students in Ameri- can history and problems of democracy. American history, required of all junior students, gives the heritage and customs of America. Problems of democracy, mandatory for seniors, imparts work- ing knowledge of government and economics. Even though no course is required of sophomores, many tenth grade students elect the world history course because of its great value in future studies. In addition to the material covered in the text- books. the Social Science teachers give a thorough course in current events, which inform the students of the world situation and encourages good reading habits. All of these studies help in preparing Mur- phy students for a life of responsible citizenship. Mr. Heffington describes die beginning of early civilizations in the Middle East.
