Striving to prepare the students for better living in a dramatic world, is the main objective of the four sections of this department, namely, plain linglish, speech and dramatics, journalism, and creative writing. An important section of study in every lfnglish class IS literature. Reading units attempt to develop within the students a taste for better literature. Senior high lfnglish classes try to promote better habits in both oral and written composition, that must be practiced not only in the classroom. but throughout the entire day. The speech courses, directed by Mr. Burdette Noel- ler, develop self-conhdence and proise in the student's social relations among the student body. ocial Studies lYorld History, American llistory and social studies are the three social studies courses required in senior high. This department, headed by Mr. ,Iulius Opheim, consists of eight faculty mem- bers who help us develop a knowledge of- the past in order that we can better understand the present and prepare our- selves for the future. Not only past and present events in history are presented in the 10th and 11th grades, but in social studies 12 an approach is made to mental hygiene and problems confronting us by today's com- plex society. All of those who plan to continue in this field should find these to be excellent preparatory courses for college. 9
