Bruce Beck, and English instructor, instills his senior students with a love of the English language. Howe ' s English department added two new courses this year to extend and encourage pupil interest. They are: Dra- matics I and II, and Debate I and II. Taught by Mr. Briggs, these courses offer training and experience for those competing in speech meets held at various schools throughout the year. English I through 6 are required for graduation and those on the academic diploma must take 7 and 8. During the odd semesters of English, grammar and composition are the main course of study, while the even semesters are devoted to literature. Also as a part of the Enlgish program, stu- dents must write a research paper in English 3 and 7, and a vocational theme in English 5. Also added this year, was an accelerated English 8 class for pupils preparing for college. Linda Chaney is giving a speech about the elaborate bird cage that she made out of tupperware spoons, straws, and flowers.
