Department Through the years we have come to the realization that 'the mark of a well educated man is his ap- preciation of the finer things in life. By the study of the English language, of its works and its authors, we are given a clear, un- preiudiced view of these finer things. We are taught the ele- gance, and meaning of the writ- ings of Keats, Shelley, Chaucer, Shakespeare and the numerous other celebrated men who pro- vided us with their work of beauty. The habit of good read- ing, both for education and en- ioyment, was instilled in us. But most important of all we were taught the meaning of writing and speaking for ourselves. Through the four years of our high-school education we were, as it seemed, constantly plagued by the most dreaded of high- school assignments-compositions and class speeches. As the time passed we began to accept these iust as any of our other assign- ments until finally they became a regular part of our studies. The training we have received in Eng- lish will eventually prove to be a most valuable asset when we go on alone to mold our future. l. Literatu 2. Drama 3. Grammar
