 English Aiding students gain a useable knowledge of the English language in their self-expression is the primary purpose of the English department. The courses include classes in subjects from ele- mentary English usage and basic literature to the Advanced Placement class, which allows students to obtain college credit while in high school. Through the literature series ranging from Modern American works back to Greek epics, the English department awakens the student's apprecia- tion of the true cultures of past and present civiliza- tions. mi BR.

«ft • With today's rapid transportation and com- munciation systems, the world seems to be getting smaller. Because of increased contacts with foreign lands, fluency in two languages is very useful. Concentrating initially on the speaking of a foreign tongue, the courses expand to proficiency in reading and writing. By making use of our school language facilities, the language department has successfully achieved its aims of introducing students to the most im- portant factor in world communications. BR. J. X.
