As citizens in a world where such great im- portance is placed upon the ability to express AS THESE INDUSTRIOUS JUNIORS attack their next English assignment, Morgan Trimyer finds the presence of Mr. McIntosh most in- triguing. one-'s self through the medium of the written and spoken word, we must make every attempt, to improve both our technique and manner of' ex- pression. NVith these facts in view, Norfolk Cath- olic's English department tries to instill in the mind of its students a deep understzuicling ol' the English language. In an intensive study ol' gram- mar over the span of four years, we are taught those skills which will enable us to express our- selves with ease and style. We are given the op- portunity to put this knowledge into practice by writing numerous essays. And through the study of literature we are able not only to observe the works of experienced authors, but also to become acquainted with phases of life which we could never experience.

ROGER JUPITER ELLIOT CALLS FOR HIS THUN- DERBOLTS as Frank Conlon shakes in his boots. Everyday the world is growing smaller and small- er due to recent developments in the fields of trans- portation and communication. Although these ad- vances are laudable, they also pose many problems, especially in the exchange of ideas With our neigh- bors across the seas. In view of these facts, Norfolk Catholic has attempted to provide a language de- partment which will aid the student in facing the problems of this era. Ever since the school opened its doors in 1950, it has offered two-year courses in Latin, Spanish, and French. But as more emphasis has been placed upon the study of foreign lang- uages, N.C.H.S. has enlarged its language depart- ment until today a student may take four years of Latin and three years of Spanish and French. JOHN TUCKER WITH HIS OMNI-PRES- ENT HUMOR opened the program at the P.T.A. meeting sponsored by the Language Department.
