English students communicate ideas Gathering material for source themes forms an important part of senior English. Proficiency in grommor, skill in compo- sition, and comprehension in reading are the main obiectives ol the English course at Walnut Hills. Students who follow the traditional curricular read and discuss such classics as Robinson Crusoe, Johnny Tremain, A Midsummer Nightfs Dream, The Yearling, My Anton- ia, and The Scarlet Letter. Seniors se- lected for the advanced standing pro- gram analyze Works of such eminent authors as Emerson, Thoreau, Eliot, Hem- ingway, and Joyce. All English courses offer voluoble instruction in the various forms of composition-expository, argu- mentative, narrative, and descriptive. For the first time iunior and senior classes studied informative articles appearing in the Atlantic Monthly. Through writing, speaking, and reading good English the student becomes well-versed in the art of communication. lST ROW: Miss Esther Cahill, Eng- lish, Mrs. Alice Z.
