ENGLISH DEPARTMENT One of the required subjects in all schools is English. The students of our ol' alma mater are indeed fortunate in having such a fine trio of instructors for this subject. Miss Bartnik, Mrs. Westberg, and Mrs. Kivet impart large quantities of knowledge concerning correct usage, English literature, American literature, and punctuation. In addition to their teaching duties, each of these teachers takes an active part in extra- curricular activities around school.
