ENCHJSH The aim of the high school English curriculum is to help the student de- velop to the maximum of his indivi- dual ability. He should learn to think clearly and logically and should be able with clarity and with a degree of correctness to communicate his thoughts either in writing or in speech. He should develop sensitivity to beauty and to the feelings of others by r e s p 0 n d i n g to literature. He should become aware of the signifi- cance of language and his responsibil- ity in using it. The study of English should be practically and socially use- ful and permanently rewarding to the mind and spirit. FOREKHQLABKHLAGES Foreign languages are taught to give the student linguistic skills, The student also acquires thoughts, ideas, emotions, and the cultural factors of foreign coun- tries. The foreign languages offered in this high school are Latin, French, and Spanish. SPEECH At the beginning of the 1961-1962 school year, thirteen seniors elected the speech course. In speech, the students learn to develop voice qualities, posture, enuncia- tion, and poise. Under Mr. Thomas Saiers instructions, the students organize, write, and present their speeches to the class. An added opportunity provides the seniors to address the Rotary Club.
