English Department Every student is required to take three years of English. Three years in addition to those years already spent in the same subject might seem repetitiousg however the POTPOURRI of the English curriculum affords variety that appeals to all students. Included in the curriculum are the study of grammar, punctuation, spelling, vo- cabulary, and the mechanics of writing, training in written and oral composition of all types, and the study of all types of literature for the purpose of analysis, appreciation, and enrichment. These courses are arranged in a sequential program for students of all abilities at all levels. Thus, a student, regardless of his plans for the future, finds a complete applicability in his study of English. Varied electives - journalism, speech, drama and world literature provide for special interests of students and to afford outlets for stu- dent talent. Journalism students publish the Co-Pilot and the Pilot. Drama students present various dramatic productions, and the speech students utilize useful training. World Literature, a course especially beneiicial to college bound students, consists of a broad, representative study of the literature of the world. In addition to their subjects, students compete in numerous foren- sic events - drama, debating, public speaking, poetry and prose read- ing, and spelling. Students publish their creative writing in the liter- ary magazine, the Piloteer.

Engineers Club Mrs. Ruth Seay Plane Algebra 8: Algebra B.S., M.Ed., Northwestern, University of Va. TAR The Mathematics Department has been changing its curriculum to adjust to changing demands. Since a great- er percentage of students plan to go to college, a greater emphasis has been placed on courses to prepare students to meet college entrance re- quirements and to be successful in college. The most noticeable changes in mathematics curriculum are the deletion of a course in Solid Geome- try and the addition of a course in Calculus. The more important ideas of solid geometry are being incorpo- rated into a course with plane geometry to effect a saving in time. The calculus course is offered to able Mathematic students to give them a good foundation for college calculus and, in some instances, to enable them to secure advanced standing in college mathematics. Both changes were made to strength- en the curriculum. Changes, less apparent, are being made within other courses. These are changes in methods of presentation, in emphasis, and is being added to facilitate and improve presentation of new concepts. Such improvements are more routine, but, combined with the more visible changes, they do add to the general excellence of the mathematics program. 16 Q...
