When students learn to speak a foreign language, they, in turn, learn a lot about their own language - how it is structured, spoken, written, etc. Studying a foreign language also gives students a chance to learn about another culture, another peo- ple. They learn that our way of life is not the only way of life and that our way is not necessarily the best way.

Whether it be diagraming a sentence, writing a book review, presenting a speech, or reading one of Shakespeares classical plays, English is a vital part of our daily lives. Not only do we learn when and where to use a particular word, we also gain an understanding of how the word originated and how it was adopted into the English language. l have a good deal of participation in my classes - such as getting up in class and presenting projects orally. I feel this gives the student confidence in dealing with others. Mr. John Cullers The English Department includes Row 1: Miss Hilda W. Lee, Department Chairman, Mrs. Barbara Feemster.

Staff Math is important to every phase of life. A person cannot survive successfully without basic math skills. Each math course at West has a definite purpose: algebra, geometry, and advanced math are primarily for the college bound student. Consumer math is a course that teaches one how to deal with 'true to life' problems. Banking, income tax, and roadmapping are three topics which seem to help consumer math students the most. Mrs. Diane Hankins We try to give students the math that will help them most for their plans after high school. Students now in college report back to let us know how to do a better job teaching the college prep courses, according to specific areas in which they feel inadequate in college Ce.g. they said last year more trig l. The advanced math course constantly undergoes change according to what we can learn about areas in which change is needed. The consumer math course is a practical course for students not planning to go to college. Among the practical units are filling out an income tax form, buying a car, and installment buying. These are problems that these students will be facing very soon. Ms. Yvonne Allen The Mathematics Department includes Row 1: Ms. Yvonne Allen, Department Chairmang Mrs. Diane Hankins.
