One of the most important qualifications to live in the world today is to be able to communicate with your fellow man, stated Miss Childress, head of the English Department. The Language Arts Department instructed students in the important forms of communication—-reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The English classes promoted an understanding of the nature and use of grammar, taught students to think logically so they may express themselves clearly and forcefully, and introduced students to a basic literary heritage. Journalism gave students the ability to consider problems critically but con- structively and to discriminate between fact and opinion. The second year students produced the yearbook and the school paper. Members of the Theatre Arts classes were helped in developing poise transferable to real life situations. They were active throughout the year in putting on skits and plays both for their benefit and that of the entire school. The speech classes learned the art of public speaking. The advanced speech classes took part in the Thanksgiving Assembly and competed in many speech tournaments throughout the year. —20—

Foreign Languages Broaden Cultural Interests Foreign languages bring about an appreciation of the culture of foreign countries and their contributions down through the ages. The aim of the foreign language classes is to encourage travel and to give students enough of a command of a foreign language to be able to get along when traveling in that country. The ability to speak a foreign language well brings a certain pleasure and, according to Miss Lela Roach, head of the Foreign language Department, is a mark of cultivation and widened intellectual interests.' Prescott High School offers Russian, Spanish, French, and Latin. Mrs. Denny Bache-Wiig teaches French and English and sponsors the French Club. She is also on the Foreign Language.
