Language Language is the key to communication. And human communication is just as necessary to mankind as oxygen. Through study of grammar, literature and foreign language including all of the manifold areas encompassed, stu¬ dents lives are thus enriched in un¬ thought of ways--they are enabled to communicate with the world and with themselves. Mrs. Phillips teaches with a unique style. Her original self-expression circumscribes use of all aspects of com¬ munication--words, action, illustra¬ tions and drama which make her classes an unforgettable experience. On her desk, a flower symbolizes her apprecia¬ tion of nature. Mrs. Hinson ' s vital interest seems to infect her English students. Mrs. Hinson stresses literature, and her stu¬ dents are constantly required to relate various literary works to each other. Her supreme joy comes when a student relates some quotation or something he has learned in literature to his own life.

Studying the En glish lan¬ guage gives the student increasing confidence-- thus, the student feels more capable of express¬ ing himself with ease in any situation. Studying the culture of a country is imperative to understanding the people of that country. One must be able to understand the modes of living of a people in order to understand the style of expression—the language of the people. Language has given mankind a medium of expression in all places, in all phases of living. In reading and learning other men ' s ideas, we are more ready to cope with life ' s problems.

Vocational Mrs. Noble and Mr. Bradley not only have responsibilities in the school that require their immedi¬ ate attention, but they also have out¬ side activities that they take upon them¬ selves to perform. Both of these teachers are constantly attend¬ ing meetings that will contribute to the extensive services carried out by each. Mrs. Noble is seen assigning her Home and Family class a re¬ warding project that will be of value to them in future years. The agriculture class is relentlessly searching for odd jobs to perform around the campus. Here, an apparent clean-up operation is about to be undertaken.
