Canguage J rts J re Vital 06 j 'kidQ ji. xpwb Reading is to the mind, what exer- cise is to the body —Addison. This has become the main theme in the VHS Eng- lish department. Because of the need for enriched experiences and the improve- ment of vocabulary, outside reading is taking a higher place in the English cur- riculum. Freshman and sophomore teachers drill on fundamentals in grammar and literature. Junior and senior teachers put more emphasis on varied reading and actual practice in both creative and ex- pository writing and in speaking before a group. By the completion of four years, the student has a firm background to prepare him for all future advancement to mature composition. MRS. WILLIAM WEST earned her BFA in drama at the University of Georgia and her MA in English at the same school. She teaches four classes of senior English and one class of junior English. MRS.
