The finer points of en- lightment are approached through the galaxy of English courses. To wake up the late sleepers, soothe the nervous, bring back the dreamers, and to put everyone in an academic state of mind was the Herculean task of the Public Address announcers. Each morning found them trying to decipher the hieroglyphic messages submitted for broadcasting. Then came the tuning up of vocal chords, and at 9:00 a.m. they Went on. Our PA announcers do not merely talk-they elocute. After screening many loquacious aspirants, Mr. William Bennett chose those exhibiting the highest copia verborum. Finding all and any talk totally unnecessary, on the other hand, the audio-visual crew busied them- selves With operating for classes, movies and record- ings supplied with built-in vocalization. That unique tool which distinguishes human beings from all other forms of life-language- takes on different forms of expression in the branches of the English Department at Walter Johnson.

The correct meaning and usage of words, the fundamentals of which are taught in the English classes, are kept in mind as the Debate Club functions with the idea of becoming specialists in this field. This club presents not one, but both sides of the story relating to a certain topic. De- bating not only among themselves, these seman- ticists extend their activities to inter-school com- petition. The knowledge that comes from analyzing lit- erary works taught in the classroom is put to Work by the members of the Dramatics Club. who strive to capture the idea of an author and enact it on the stage. Stage presence, voice modulation, and other components necessary for success in the theater are also among the goals of these aspiring actors and actresses. Barrymores and Bernhardts receive recogni- tionof their outstanding talent through election to membership in the Thespians. This national organization honors students who excel in dra- matics and have participated in this field both in and out of school.
