Students of Trenton Central lligh School are afforded many oppor- tunities for self-improvement in each of these language activities. .-Xs sophomores, the pupils are intro- duced to various phases of literature through a series of lectures. Playing the sedulous ape some of the sophomores take a special course in creative-writing. Imaginations are given a full run in the l,rIlH't'flf1' l and Spcclrllor l classes, which are courses designed for juniors w i th creative-writ- ing ability. Others may elect d r a m a classesg commercial students are offered business correspond- ence courses. The re- maining juniors take the regular I I If a and Illib. To seniors w h o lrflrur S. Hancock are honor students the l'ress, liolmrliclrr, Sfwrlnlor ll and Drama ll classes are offered. 'l'o accommodate college pre- paratory students with a wider scope of linglish and American literature, college board classes are conducted. liither con- temporary literature or a survey of linglish literature is studied by other seniors. 'llhe former course emphasizes modern works, whereas the survey spe- cializes in historical backgrounds. By following such a program the ling- lish department fosters those language talents which may be of use in the busi- ness world and at the same time opens before every student a wide field of cul- tural development. 'l'his year all students taking courses in linglish had the use of the mirrophone, a mechanical device which records and replays the human voice. XYith this ma- chine, as well as with the use of records, students with minor speech impediments were provided a means of analyzing their voices and correcting them.
