Columbia Univ., M.A. ENGLISH Language is communication; hence, lan- guage can best be developed in the social situation in which it is used. Cultivating wholesome personal living and developing social sensitivity and ef- fective participation in group life are the two major goals of the English Department. These goals can be reached through writ- ing, reading, listening, and speaking. They are our means of learning, understanding, and communicating the skills needed to ac- quire a feeling of security and satisfaction in normal living, and to enable the pupil to express himself effectively in daily life. Students can discover the necessity for effective writing, reading, listening, and speaking, as they work with others, for skill in language comes with frequent participa- tion in group activities. As their ability to use the language increases, they learn to use these skills intelligently in enriching their own lives and in improving their society.

HONOR Representing the ten percent of the senior class which is considered to best demonstrate the qualities of leadership, outstanding scholar- ship, fine character, and a desire to serve is the Clio-Philo chapter of the National Honor Soci- ety at West Orange High School. Last spring ten juniors were selected to lead the organization and, from these, this years of- ficers were elected: Albert Turkus, president; Stephen Marcus, vice president; Gayle White, secretary; Leonard Schaper, treasurer. In Jan- uary, twenty-six seniors were inducted into the SOCIETY society. Miss Ruth Goodyear and Mr. Robert Krimmel act as the faculty sponsors. The National Honor Society not only stands before the school as an example of excellent scholarship, but also performs many valuable services. Once again, its members organized the Thanksgiving Day motorcade, posted the honor roll in the main hall, and offered a tutor- ing service to the school. The high level of scholarship, leadership, and service of this group reflects the fine standards of West Orange High School. 14
