A MRS. MARIAN HYTE LANGUAGE ARTS, 7TH ENGLISH I Sc II MISS MARGARET RICHARDS Excellent modern texts are supplied by the school and supplemented by our elhcient teaching staff. 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.

The medium of reading develops a wise use of leisure timeg our writing builds an extensive vocabulary for expressing ideas with brevity and perspicuityg listen- ing encourages accurate interpretation of facts and opin- ionsg while speaking is the outgrowth of understanding. YVe converse courteously and intelligently and through Our curriculum offers three basic foreign language courses-French, Latin, and Spanish. The study of any of these may begin in ninth grade and continue through a four year Sequence. Since the installation of the language lab in April, we can emphasize oral drill to gain greater fluency in conversation and to better understand the spoken word. Grammar study still serves to explain the structure of language while we gain an understanding of class participation develop a sensitivity to understanding.
