Language arts—writing, reading, speaking Through basic English courses, Lincoln students are given an opportunity to master their native tongue. Sophomore English, a combination of com- position and literature, was taught by TV this year. Miss Esther Montgomery handled the TV presenta- tion. Mrs. Vifquain and Miss Smith were in charge of the classroom activities. Senior composition em- phasizes composition and preparation for college. The English department offers many electives for students with special talents and interests. Jour- nalism is available to those interested in any of the fields of communication, and Northeastern and Rocket staff classes give practical experience to these students. Debaters learn to express their opinions by marshalling supporting evidence and presenting logical argument. Overcoming the fear of speaking before a group is part of the work of the speech classes. Each year they have an opportunity to prove their ability in the all-school plays, and in the speech contests sponsored by community and national organizations. Why do I always hove to take the negative side—Marl Borchers, George Duranslce, Mike Wylie, Karen Johnson. A responsive audience is vital to speech classes—Cheryl Ethridge and Diane Lehr.
