MRS. GLADYS DOTTER-English, Speech CREA TIVE MAGAZINE NEW Original composition combined with literature was the basic program of Eng- lish. Recordings and movies have helped to bring the student in closer contact with the writer. Some of the advanced students undertook a new and highly challenging project at the end of this year, the publica- tion of a literary magazine from the short stories, poetry, and essays which students have written. Speech, drama, and jour- nalism called on other special talents of the students. MR. CLIFFORD THOMAS-English, Journalism MR. THOMAS NEWTON-Foreign Language, English NEW 15 UNIT LAB HELPS Faster methods of communication and transportation have brought the individual into closer contact with foreign-speaking people. This is the reason for extensive study in the language, customs, and history of Mexico, Spain, and France. The new language laboratory helps develop an oral proficiency in the languages. The labora- tory has fifteen units for students and a console that the teacher operates. MRS. PEGGY GOODALL-Foreign Language 11
