Daily drill is the key to complete understanding of language thus it is an integral part ol each class. In the senior high the emphasis is placed on literature, composition, and public speaking. The students learn not only to interpret and evaluate selections from American and English literature, but also to express their own hopes and aspirations. In addition seniors are introduced to many vocabulary words which are essential for post- graduate work. Commercial students are instructed primarily for the business world while the college- bound prepare for advanced study. --G. SN-ws eifgmwl . 4 . .is .A . K . we if 51.
