JOSEPHINE M. PHELAN, A. B. Rawlins High School 1916. Trinity College, Washington, D. C., 1920. Instructor in English R. H. S. 1920-1921, 1921-1922. “Vim, Vigor and Vitality has been the slogan of the English Department during the term 1921-1922. It seems paradoxical, to say the least, but it’s true. From this department sprang The Exhaust, the first Rawlins High School publication. published monthly by the student body under the management of the Senior class. The benefits derived from a work of this kind are immeasurable and the impetus given to the work done in English has been very remarkable. It is a work well begun, but only begun, and it remains for the succeeding years to give it the improvements that only experience can acquire. Another very fruitful work of the English Department has been public speaking. One day of each week has been set aside for this phase of English and, very gratifying results have been shown. For the first time R. H. S. was represented this year in the Public Speaking contest at the State Tournament. Out of the interest taken in public speaking grew the organization of the R. H. S. Debating Society, supervised by the English Department.
