Stressed In order to assure that each student who grad- uates from VHS will be a literate citizen, develop- ment of self-expression in speaking and writing is a primary goal of the English departments. Teachers emphasize fun- damentals of grammar, vocabulary, usage, and reading skills. Actual experience in the use of language arts and skills is gained through oral reports, book reviews, themes, and term papers. As students progress through Great Expecta- tions, Silas hAarner, The Scarlet Letter, and van- hoe, they see how great writers have used these fundamentals in their works. MRS. J. R. HICKOX, left, and MRS. LARRY MONCUS compare notes for their English I classes. Mrs. Hickox received her A.B. in secondary education from VSC.
