Smooth Sailing For English Department English. Our native tongue. Most of us young adults fail to speak it properly, and that is why we have an indispensable group of individuals known simply as Eng- lish teachers. These individuals, in general, attempt to teach us, the students, to speak our language adequate- ly. In the process of doing so, they must also introduce to us exciting things, such as subordinate clauses, and other fun stuff. Now, on top of all that, our English staff must also make the process of learning worthwhile and interesting. For one to do that is an amazing feat, and it makes him an exceptional teacher, and he should be commended. It is not surprising that all the members of the Northview English Department are worthy of commendation. English for all college bound students is a necessity, not only for graduation, but for college admissions, also. University of California schools announced early this year that for students to even be considered, they must have at least four years of English, although the require- ment for high school graduation is three years. One of the English Department ' s mam goals this year was to aid the Senior Class in preparing for the SAT and ACT, college entrance exams, by reviewing material contained within the tests. For example, synonyms, antonyms, analogies, and sentence structure were some of the areas which needed reviewing. Another important exam reviewed by the English Department was the CAP test. The results of this test are compared with other high schools throughout the state. Mrs. Eberhardt and Matt Hunkins laugti about a major mistake in liis paper.
