ENGLISH Miss Josephine Martin Dept. Head The purpose of this department is to help the student to improve his use of English in reading, writing, and speaking. The wide range of the reading program includes class study and discussion as well as individual reading. The title of the weekly reading day has been changed to a weekly conference day. This is still a day on which a student may write book comments, read a book from the class library, but it may also be a day for conferences between teacher and student to clear up any problems which confront Mrs. Joy Bradford these two. The study of literature is also aided by a wide selection of short story, poetry, and drama records. English students are taught to take pride in good, accurate written work. Original stories, poems, and themes of each pupil, as well as long papers and tests, are kept in individual class folders. Gifted writers are encouraged to submit material to The Winged Zebra, the school's annual literary publication. Journalism students publish a bi-monthly school newspaper. The Pine Cone. The department is continuing its participation in the National Study of High School English programs of over 100 chosen schools, sponsored by National Council Teachers of English and the University of Illinois. The department is now receiving reports from Miss Harriette Buzbee the study, including a description of the ideal English clossroom, which is being used at the local level with the North Central Evaluation Study. 8 Miss Sylvia K.
