LAN GUA GE English is basic. It is used everytime we converse, everytime we listen, everytime we read, and everytime we write. It is from these everyday uses of our language that the goals for achievement in-English emerge. We seek to improve speaking, listening, reading and writing. The methods and means of improving these skills are numerous and varied. The structure of the basic language unit, the sentence, is taught by means of grammar. Following the mastery of the sentence comes improvement of the larger unit, the paragraph - and finally the writing of the whole theme which is well organized and shows that the writer has acquired style. Also, when the student has mastered sentence structure, he speaks better, he listens with greater interest and comprehension, and his reading becomes more meaningful to him. His language has become a tool that he uses efficiently to communicate with those about him, to make himself understood, and to broaden his understanding of the world in which he lives. English is indeed basic! W. H. N Mr. Harmon assumes one of his usual positions. O-hour College Prep class is deeply absorbed in literature.

S CIE The courses offered within the science department this year included biology, chemistry, Chemistry II, physics., and physical science. As usual the science department continued this year its efforts to develop students who: understand rather than just memorize, think for them- selves rather than have their thinking done for them, approach a problem with an open, curious mind, in an orderly search for regularities and useful conclusions rather than closed minded spectators who have no idea of how to become involved in the solution of a challeng- ing problem. Possibly in some small degree the depart- ment was successful. S. S. I knew those biology mice would get in here someday. CE Well, Miss, if you really want to be Lady Godiva I wonder if that wind-up mouse made it to the Physics room.
