eachin undamentals S-p-e-l-l-i-n-g d-a-y came back to school in full force with the beginning of our school year. Every Monday was devoted to lessons in a spelling tablet, and the rest of the week to grammar, composition, and literature. New composition books with much personal guid- ance, both practical and lively, added stimulus to the English course of study. Preparation of senior students for college English was featured in a class under Miss Thomasmais supervision. Miss Perschbacher, in her English literature class, taught senior students to understand and appreciate the ideals and life of the English people through their writings. ln addition to her regular English subjects, Miss Heseltine instructed two classes in journalism in the art of feature writing, par- ticularly for the yearbook. Two new classes under the guidance of Miss Smallidge and Miss Laible were organized to give special help to students having unusual difficulties with English. l Mr. Meyering and the Misses Quinlan, Thomas, Laible, Allen, and Scholes, as usual, laid many a firm foundation in their students, mind as to the effective use of English and the fun to be found in good reading. A committee made a study of possible new literature books for tenth- and eleventh-grade general English classes. Mr. Meyering headed ...E a film committee which presented excerpts from HCaptains Courageousw fe-sf if A for personal guidance work in all English classes.
