EFFECTIVE LANGUAGE OPENS MANY DOORS Fact and fancy trom English, journalism, speech, Latin, Spanish, and College Preparatory classes prepare students tor the new world open to them after graduation. The English and language depart- ments advocate the tour avenues ot intelligent com- munications and expression: speaking, listening, writ- ing, and thinking. Teachers stress correct usage of basic grammar in daily assignments. Vocabulary lessons and spelling quizzes instill in us an appreciation ot our English language. Excellent works ot literature, which have been contributed to our cultural background by authors ot past centuries, show us the means ot ex- pression that we should try to equal or, it possible, excel. We extend our accumulated knowledge into compositions which we hope will be a step towards the goal ot correct written expression. Speech classes enable us to learn to express our English language in an effective manner. ln toreign language classes we compare our English to the language of other nations in order that we may de- velop a better understanding ot our own language and become acquainted with the culture of other lands.
