Our English department is proud that our school has led the state in the number of entries that have been accepted in the Missouri Youth'Writes program, and that for the past two years we have published our own booklet, BLUE HORIZONS. It is composed of some of the best classroom compositions from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Few of the surrounding high schools have such a creative writing booklet. The school operates its English curri- culum under the direction of a Raytown cur- riculum guide which provides for specified work in literature, grammar, composition, vocabulary, and reading programs. Miss Krumsiek helps her students and student teachers to master the English language. 5S,fl'el'lgtAeIl The largest growth in English Composi- tion took place this year when the number of classes jumped from six classes last year to thirteen classes this year.
