In each area we try to bring into the classroom the ideas and methods that have been developed from the extensive and intensive study of language dur- ing the past thirty years. All students must take the first six semesters of English. In addition, students who have com- pleted six semesters ol English may enroll in Sen- ior Composition and Senior Literature. These courses are practically musts for students who will attend college. The department also offers two English classes on the senior level for those stu- dents who are not interested in going to college, hut who feel the need of additional practice in communication skills and who enjoy reading. Journalism, a one-semester subject, provides rich opportunities lor a practical application of the training learned. Students soon recognize the re- sponsibilities of staff positions, as well as the seri- ousness of meeting deadlines. Speech and Drama offer both pleasure and practical training. Speech covers the general field of public speaking and prepares the student to meet the requirements of public appearance. Drama I members study stage technique, acting, and make-up. In addition to public presentations, second semester drama students make an in depth study of the history of drama.
