Literature Adds To Our Cultural Growth Effective communication of ideas as well as knowledge is extremely important, and lan- guage is our best means of communication. If others are to have the benefit of our great store of knowledge, we must be able to pass it on to them. The years spent in English class mold to a great degree students' ability to think and write effectively. An extensive vocabulary and grammatical correctness are the marks of a truly educated person. Literature adds to our cultural growth, gram- mar develops our mental alertness, and speech trains us to express our ideas more clearly. English can be applied to almost anything we encounter in our lifetimes. Using English in business, interpreting written problems, or merely composing single notes of communica- tion are essential to us in making ourselves use- ful citizens of society. Correct usage of English remains a necessity in every phase of life. Success, too, hinges on the way we relate our ideas in achieving standards for improvement and in accomplishing our goals. Mastering our own English language is important in our be- coming educated citizens. Thus, we see English plays a vital role in the plot of intellectual development.

an Jackie Miller and Tim Wohlfahrt find the language lab an invaluable aid in the study of German. Students Extend Knowledge of Foreign Tongues The knowledge of a foreign language is be- coming more essential than ever in our modern society. Clear circuits of communication in busi- ness and social transactions depend on the abil- ity of the people of the world to understand each other. As a result, the study of more than one language is becoming a necessity, French, La- Bonvincin Cornwell Marsh Scheurman tin, German, and Spanish are offered at WHS. The relatively new language laboratory has been added to supplement and facilitate the program. The twenty-six booth lab enables stu- dents to improve their pronunciation and com- prehension of a language with the aid of re- cordings without disturbing class progress.
