ENGLISH Through our English classes we have acquired a respect and an understanding for our language. We have learned to read it, to speak it, to write it, and to listen to it to the best of our individual abilities, with the result that we understand ourselves, our country and our world to a much greater degree. In addi- tion to studying the works of English, American and world authors, students may register for courses in creative Writing and journalism. Miss Virginia Alwin is chairman of this, the largest department in school. MATHEMATICS Courses in mathematics are so arranged that students receive basic training in accordance with their plans whether they plan to enter business, science or technology. The department under Miss Erickson as chairman offers courses in advanced arithmetic, higher algebra, plane and solid geometry and trigonometry. By careful planning at registra- tion time any of our graduates can be well grounded in the field of mathematics. WALTER BOHNER Chemistry THEODORE BRUNSON E. S.
