Ergo, and of course, this Legend arc advised by Mr. Hccht, Mr. Hendlcr and Mr. Tumin, all members of the English Department. What does the English Department have planned for the future? Perhaps an English Honor Society, to stimulate even more achievement; a Critics club whose function would be to review plays, books, movies, and to inform the student body through the school paper as to their findings; more audio visual aids to be used in the classroom. A Literary club has just been inaugurated. For those students having difficult)' with the English language or with speech, developmental reading and remedial speech are available. Remedial speech, a minor, is offered to correct speech defects. Other courses offered for the enrichment of the student arc public speaking, dramatics, journalism, and creative writing. Members of the department are keenly aware of their special responsibility for introducing parts of the world's greatest literature to relatively raw minds. It is their hope that the student will keep on with his reading. TV and movies get duller, the flesh gets weaker, but the good books last forever.—see illustration. Etheridge.

English Department. An understanding of the English language is a prerequisite to success in one’s chosen career. That is why English is a required course for all students in all patterns. It is through this department that the student should develop the ability to communicate, both in writing and in speaking, precisely and effectively; to read with comprehension and discrimination; and to listen intelligently, interpret what is heard, analyze the facts presented, and synthesize the ideas offered. This department, through its excellent teachers, attempts to acquaint the pupil with literature that will give him a knowledge of his cultural history, his ideals, his accomplishments, and especially his American heritage. By introducing a variety of topics into classroom discussions, the English department strives to improve social attitudes and behavior patterns, with emphasis on better human relationship, service to society, and pride in the democratic institutions of life. Headed by Miss Janet McKenzie, this department offers a variety of courses that appeal to the interests and needs of the students. An honors course is now available to those students who have shown an aptness for the English language and literature. This course is comparatively new to our school, having been started two years ago. The honors course delves more deeply into the subject-matter of the average English class and offers the student the opportunity to advance rapidly. As in other advanced placement courses, the Honors English students receive special marking considerations. Ettin, Andrew Vogel, n. 1. one who enjoys listening to classical music and reading good literature. 2. a sometime author who works in the English office. 3. a substitute teacher, noted scholar and critic. 4. a singer. 5. a future professor of literature, now engaged as president and chairman of the planning committee of the Literary club. 6. a valued editor of Legend.—SYN. see Andy.
