ENGLISH English at Park School is one ofthe basic subjects required in each of the four years of high school and taught throughout the Lower and Middle schools. The purpose of the English program is to teach the student to think clearly and to express his ideas, in speech as well as writing, with clarity and force. Through acquainting each boy with a number of English and American classics, the Depart- ment further seeks to increase his capacity for enioyment and to broaden his vicarious experience, as well as to provide him with models of expression. Those who comprise the staff ofthe English Department are Mr. Foxlow, chair- man, Mr. Harrity, and Mr. Taggart. 9

G. M. GARRETT-HEADMASTER Practically no man is more representative of Parlc's history, past and present, than our headmaster, Mr. G. M. Garrett. Mr. Garrett came to Park in 1929, as a science teacher and a coach. He left in 1940 to teach in Detroit. ln 1952 he returned to Park as headmaster. More than any other single person, he is responsible for the fine school spirit and scholastic rating for which the school is known. Since his return to Park the enrollment has been at its highest, the school has been admitted to the Cum Laude society, and the Development Program has been initiated. Thank you, Mr. Garrett, for another great year. 8
