We, of course must read and explain ourselves in almost all o our classes, but the English department i charged specifically with the responsibility fo developing within us a desire to speak and writ correctly and effectively, and to read with under standing and appreciation. Aside from the six required courses, we ma elect courses in grammar review lCompositio lVl, intensive writing practice lComposition Vl English literature lliterature lVl, increasing ou speed and comprehension lDevelopmental Read ingl, Journalism, Public Speaking and Drama Even though English courses are not required o seniors, college-bound students have been gen erally quick to see the need for additional writ ing experience. In our required classes, becaus an attempt has been made to decrease their size teachers have been more able to help us corre our individual weaknesses and require us to ar ticulate what we sense, to interpret what w sense, to interpret what we investigate, to an alyze facts, and to produce ideas.

MORE LANGUAGES AT WEST GO ln keeping with The national Trend, West High students are becoming tremendously interested in foreign languages. This is evidenced by The fact that this year there are six French, four German, nine Spanish, five Latin classes, and one Russian class. This year for The first Time a Third year of Spanish, French and German are being offered. The purpose of These courses is To increase oral fluency and reading ability. Another advanced course being taken by West High students is Russian, which is taken at Olympic College. Three students from West Travel to East for Third-year German, while Two students from East Take Third- year French at West. The United States government now offers scholarships to Teachers of foreign languages so that They may improve Their Teaching Techniques. Many current oral Teaching methods are being investigated and employed by Teachers in our language department. Miss Betty Anderson, Ger- man teacher, spent last summer at a government language institute at The University of Washing- TOD. Future plans for The department include a listening and recording language laboratory. ln third-year Spanish The Tape-recorder has already been used and found To be a very satisfactory method. Next year The foreign language depart- ment is expected To be bigger than ever. Through this added interest West High students show that they are willilng and able To face The future in an expanding world.
