English is the basis of our curriculum . . . The students are enrolled in English courses most of the years they are in high school. The college preparatory course requires the student to take it all four years, and three years are required for the practical English course. In these classes the students learn the basic fundamentals and mechanics of our language. Composition writing is emphasized to teach us to express our- selves clearly and to use correctly the knowledge of our language. Literature is taught during the second semester of the English courses. In these classes students are helped to overcome reading difficulties and to improve techniques, speed, and interpretation. Students who enroll in the speech class are trained in correct, fluent, and persuasive public speaking. Besides participating in many speeches, debates, and discussions they take part in the skit at the Halloween Festival and the play given for the student body at Christmas time. Sandy Warren is putting on the bulletin board some of the excep- tional themes written by students in hor sophormoro English class, as Jane Lakins and Roger Holdoman tako timo out to read thorn.
