Whether engaged in reading, writing, or reciting, a student may employ an active imagination as a valuable aid in conjuring up images and impressions. Definitely an asset to creative writing, inspiration is thus afforded an ample opportunity to develop to full capacity. Students are taught to utilize and appreciate the various channels of expression. Oral reports and discussions provide excellent opportunities for the techniques of effective speech and communication to be mastered, as well as for the gaining of poise and self- reliance. For those who desire a more intensive study of speech fundame ntals and related arts, our English curriculum offers a two-year program in this field.
