In a junior English class Mrs. Hoffman listens to Mervyn Paul read aloud a selection pertaining to the Western movement in American literature. English Department The foundation of all other departments in a high school is the English department. The work in any other area can- not be carried on without a basic knowledge of the language. The. department which includes English X, XI, and XII, business English, speech and journalism stresses an under- standing of both the written and spoken language. Appre- ciation of the works of great authors is another goal of this division. Students interested in newspaper or oratorical work as well as the college-bound students find this department an invaluable aid. A group of seniors in Miss Shaw’s first period speech class, from 1. to r., Becky Jo Drumm, Linda Rovcnolt, Cathy Weaver, Larry Bassett, Sandy Kniss, Harry Schrader, and Charles Mcthercll, participate in a panel discussion on the pros and cons of the Beatles. John Parker recites a memory passage from the poem “Snowstorm” by Ralph Waldo Emerson for one of Miss Fernsler’s English XI classes.
