Spring Hill College English 4 Religion 3 Cinema Club Moderator Assistant Track Coach ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English, or Language Arts, is the common name for the entire field of language study, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The English Department, by means of a three-fold course of composition and grammar, literature, and speech, tries to develop these invaluable abilities in each student. The value of words, and their function and purpose, is emphasized by interpreting literature in class discussions or written responses. The student is made aware of the beauty of our language and of its tremendous imagery in figurative expression.. A required reading list acquaints the student with the world's great books and authors, and encourages him to read on his own. Speech classes develop the ability to speak with ease in the presence of others and to be able to think on one's feet. With the aid of ever- increasing facilities, the English Department hopes to teach everyone to express himself correctly in a world where he must speak out or be ignored. l Alright you guys, knock it off!

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT Mr. Fisch El' shows Mr. Schreck and Mr. Mautner the film strip he will use in his History class. Social Studies prepares the student for active citizenship by providing him with an understanding of man's behavior, past and present, which has laid the foundation for the society we live in. The Social Studies course is a three-year course, including World History and Ameri- can History, and an elective of an Economics- Government course in the senior year. Social Studies brings about in the student an appreciation ot our civilization and its development, and an awareness of the con- tinuity of history. It produces an interest and insight into current events and national policies, and an awareness ot the relation- ship between Divine Providence and its unfolding in the history of man. MR.
