STUDENTS SEEK TO IMPROVE their reading ability in the new reading center. In the background students work at thc shadowscopcs, while those at the dcsks take a test in their Wltty books. English Department Accents Fundamentals The lflnglish department of Rushville High School has gained wide approval from col- leges and universities for its well trained stu- dents in the basic functions of composition, grammar, and literature. With the addition of developmental reading and advanced speech courses the ovation should quadruple. Mrs. Orval Wisler, a specialist in advanced reading, supervises the reading center. HHS is one ot' the few schools in the state to have such a department. Under the direction ol' James Gibson, de- lmate and other speech activities have had a rebirth in RHS. Speech has become a major interest to many students, and is a credit to the school. W1 AAL FLORENCE MAIJIPEN. BA..
