WANDA BREITENBACI'-I MAXINE BREWER ROBERT BURGOYNE SEAMUS MCGRADY English English, Reading English, Speech English English classes visit the library regularly. JOHN SHIVELY CLARA WEDIN English, Guidance Guidance HISTORY The study ot history throws light on current events. Students learn to interpret today's events in the light of the past. History courses are made stimulating by tilms, reports and speeches. Comparison with other nations makes us appreciate our rights and privileges as citizens of the United States. ENGLISH Realizing the need to develop skill in writing the English classes em- phasize composition. English in- corporates reading speed and com- prehension, speech, vocabulary, analogy and grammatical principles. Authors ot varied backgrounds vvith their Works are studied. An elective course in creative writing is ottered for the tirst time. lt is apparent that the upgrading ot English will better prepare students tor its use and ap- preciation.
