English Edith Bjornstad English Everett Craft English Oakley Ethington brings John Milton to life through a lecture to his senior English students. Communication in the modern world involves the use of English, both written and oral. The students are given a good background in grammar, composition, American literature, and English literature. Aside from classroom work, the various parts of the English de- partment sponsor the Scribblers Club, the newspaper, the yearbook, and the newly organized Drama Reading Club.
