Q Everything has a beginning. These four words of knowledge lend themselves to our English department. Here the fun- damentals of our language are taught by Mrs. Wasson, Mrs. Harwick, and Mr. Taylor. Mrs. Aiken and Mrs. Breck sup- plement to this learning when we are jun- iors. Our high school English instruction is completed when we are seniors by Mr. Brown. Mrs. Breck and Mr. Brown teach Latin and Spanish classes, respective- ly. Reading and various sports seem to be the favorite pastimes of the literary staff. Mr. Taylor likes to hunt and fish, while singing in the church choir is a weekly hobby of Mr. Brown. Mrs. Harwick and Mrs. Breck like to read, and Mrs. Wasson enjoys playing golf. In her leisure time Mrs. Aiken sews and in thc summer swims at the Otto Recreation Park o AVIS HARWICK English B.S., East Stroudsburg State College M.
