MCDONALD ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT at Southwest is composed of a staff of ten mem- bers: Miss Sara Van Metre, Miss Ursula Ash, Miss Clara B. McDonald, Miss Esther Schroer, Miss Anna Klein, Miss Eleanor Kleeman, Miss Cleora Hutchin- son, Miss Catherine Neumann, Mrs. Alicia Seifrit, and Mr. Chaney O. Williams. The English curriculum consists of four years of Composition and Literature and one year of Newswriting. Although only three years of English are required for graduation, a large number of students enroll for four years. Included in the scope of this department are the two publications,-the bi-weekly newspaper, The Trail, and the school annual, The Sachem. The Trail, which is super- vised by Mrs. Seifrit, is carried on by the work of the newswriting class. The Sachem staff, directed by Miss Klein, is chosen by a contest in which dum- mies are submitted, and by class election. The annual is issued on Senior day and contains an excellent account of the school's activities. ', . -14-
