Contests Offer Chance To Excelin English Qualified students were given many op- portunities to display their talents in the English department. Creative writing, es- say, and speech contests provided a chance to excel in various areas. The forensic con- tests, held in early March, drew interested persons for competition in public speaking, poetry reading, prose reading, and spell- ing. Accelerated programs, which have rap- idly increased in number, also promoted the advancement of higher learning. The two junior classes and one senior class at- tempted to gain a deeper understanding of literature through discussion, and com- position skills were emphasized for more effective writing. To make selected books readily available to the students, class- room libraries were developed. Other interests were stimulated by the two three-act plays, drama and speech courses, and advanced composition class, and journalistic activities. This is a misplaced modifier, Col.
