English is the basis for a successful future Paramus High students are being taught modern techniques of expression by their competent English instructors. This language arts course has proved to be both stimulating and challenging. Advanced classes have been provided for those who are desirous of pursuing possible literary careers or further¬ ing their own classical interests. Wider latitudes of reading are being encouraged as well as intensive vocabulary study. The work being stressed includes discussions and creative writing. Juniors and seniors study primarily American and British literature, while underclassmen explore the many literary forms and fields available in modern English. Courses in speech are becoming increasingly popular each year at Paramus High. Speech fundamentals are given in the first year which teach students to think on their feet; to gain confidence, poise, and self-reliance; to help improve their in¬ dividual speech patterns; and to develop an appreciation for the communication arts. These goals are obtained through formal and informal speaking, group discussions, and studying the speech techniques of radio and television artists. During the second year the speech arts further develop the fundamentals learned in the first year. In addition, there is a concentration on the theater including acting and play production.

Social Studies can be exercised through the Student Man ' s desire to understand the complex world in which he dwells has given rise to increased know¬ ledge in every field. Through the study of history we hope to discover the answers to the problems of the present by examining the answers of the past. In Paramus High School the aim of the Social Studies Department is to instill patriotism for their country and enlighten the students as to the role of the United States in the world situation. Numerous audio-visual aids, field trips to historic places, public speakers, current events discussions, and term reports are used by the department as a means of creating interest in man ' s recorded struggle for survival. Through the various courses offered in the Social Studies Department, the high school hopes to meet its challenge of producing students who will make better citizens upon leaving Paramus High.
