As the English Deportment introduced us to and set us to using the priceless spectrum of our own language, the quality of our canvas became finer. We spent four years learning new words, using correct idioms and grammar, writing compositions, and reading the best literature of both the past and the present. Public Speaking taught us how to paint vivid word pictures; Journalism gave further opportunity for self expression. Our Library offered a wealth of material. The glow from these experiences will always illumine our lives.
