Q 11- vii, ENGLISH THE STUDY OF ENGLISH IN OUR SCHOOL IS PRIMARILY THE STUDY OF COMMUNICATION. THIS SUBJECT IS TAUGHT WITH THE BELlEF THAT COMMUNICATION IS BOTH ORAL AND WRITTEN, AND THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT ONLY A SPEAKER, BUT A LISTENER AND A READER AS WELL. THE STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT, DURING THEIR FOUR YEARS OF REQUIRED ENGLISH, TO IMPROVE THEIR COMPREHENSION OF ORAL AND WRITTEN MATERIAL AND T0 DEVELOP THEIR OWN ABILITY TO SPEAK AND WRITE EEEECTIVELY. TO BEST ACCOMPLISH THESE PURPOSES, CLASSES IN EACH GRADE ARE ORGANIZED ON THREE LEVELS T0 FIT THE NEEDS AND TALENTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT. GRAMMAR IS EMPHASIZED IN THE NINTH AND TENTH GRADES, WHILE COMPOSITION IS MASTERED IN THE ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH. IN ADDITION TO THE SELECTIONS IN HIS TEXTBOOK, THE STUDENT IS REQUIRED T0 DO AMPLE SUPPLEMENTARY READING TO EX- , PAND HIS KNOWLEDGE OF LITERATURE. NEWS- PAPERS, MAGAZINES, POETRY, DRAMA, AND LIBRARY TECHNIQUES ARE INTRODUCED. THIS COMPREHENSIVE COURSE, TO WHICH IOURNALISM MAY BE ADDED, NOT ONLY ASSURES THE ABILITY OF THE STUDENT TO COMMUNICATE, BUT SERVES AS A BASIS FOR S ACOUIRING AND APPRECIATING OTHER KNOWLEDGE. 43 FIRST ROW: Mr. William Smith, Mrs. Eleanor Gluck, Mr. Robert Gemson, Miss lane Maher, Mr. Erwin Thornton SECOND ROW: Miss loan Palmer, Mrs. Betty lo Cuffari, Mrs. Sonya Heyden, Mrs. Chole Correll, Mrs. Dorothy Aylward THIRD ROW: Mr. Robert Dolan, Mr. lohn Patterson lchairmanl, Mr. Robert Steiner, Mr. Alvin Hall
