English Literature Preserves An Awareness . QS Concentration is a necessityg Colleen McDougall searches for meaning in Huckleberry Finn. THOMAS DORSEY Of Human lclentit Ideas form the basis for the understanding of the universe. In an increasingly complex life, clear, logi- cal thought is more important than ever. A major objective of the English Curriculum is to teach stu- dents to think logically and to express their ideas clearly in a world where language is often used to manipulate men's minds and emotions. But there is an even broader objective, to preserve human values and the dignity of the individual in a mechanized society. To fulfill these objectives our teachers emphasize reading and composition so that the student may per- ceptively interpret the experiences of mankind through literature and express his thoughts and ideas with clarity and force.

The progress of man changes it everyday into more of a future world. The proper study of mankind is man said Alex- ander Pope, and it is still true that the lessons of the past can instruct our behavior in the future. W.H.S. students learn of man's constant struggle to create a social climate in which progress is possible. His failures, economic and political, and his successes, point the way in which we may safeguard the freedom of the individual to enjoy the prosperity which scien- tific progress and our expanding economy seem to promise.
