Enchanting and Expressive Through tlir guidance of Mrs. O’Connor the students familiarized themselves with American literature. English isn't just spelling, grammar, and luring stories. One must be able to speak correctly and to punctuate with ease. In the junior high, spelling and grammar are emphasized more. Vocabulary is studied in the senior high. The student learns to appreciate many different kinds of hooks, both fiction and non-fiction. In the romantic movement we searched for the hidden meaning the author may have bestowed on us. The lives of great playwrights and authors were studied to aid in the analysis of their work. If a student takes speech, an elective, he gains experience with everyday conversation, lively discussion, and ease in public speaking. Speaking is unavoidable. Speech is a subject which teaches us more about something we do in our everyday lives. One of our new teachers. Mr. Thompson, gave personal attention to his English students. Mr. Eiesland emphasized organization, originality and preparation in our speech classes. 19
