Third year English has a twofold purpose. First, English III is designed to give students a glimpse of their American literary heritageg second, English III by the study of grammar and com- position is designed to help students express themselves correctly, fluently, and explicitly on paper or orally. s.,,.w4 In the second picture left, Helen Hall, June Harris, Sally Sitton, Darilyn Dutton, and Tom Pethtel browse in the library stacks, hunting material for their English IV term paper. Students stage the famous scene from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream in the third picture. Thisbe 1Paul Payneb whispers through a chink in the wall fRichard Scottl to Pyramus KRoy Adamsl. Bob Davis, Margaret Embach, and John Scott look on. By such means as term papers, scenes from plays, book reports, themes, memorizing, study of an English anthology, and review of grammar and usage, English IV students not only prepare for col- lege English but gain knowledge and appreciation of our English literature and language.

'im Mrs. Virginia Biggers. English I and English II R. teacher says: Like a well-fashioned tool, an English course should he built to do specific jobs. It should help students to communicate more effectively with one another: increase their respect for the Eng- lish language, and should open their eyes to pleasures that can be derived from an appreciation of literature. '22 Gene Staggs, Ted Moore, standing, Don Tipton, Esther Davis, Karen Irwin, sittingg and John Reed, Clayton Smart, in back- ground, are shown here in English II R. The general aim of the English R is to improve reading skills and to pave the way toward better grammatical usage. Students are tested at regular intervals in order that they may check their own progress. n9l42143mzd42 Edna Streeter, Robert Coursay, Jerry Harris, standingg and Vir- deen Sherrin and Carroll Cain, seated, are enjoying their English magazine, Practical English. The students are in a class which stresses reading speed and comprehension and English usage. In a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere these juniors and seniors study their magazine, write themes, read books, make book reports, and have oral discussions on subjects of interest. 81715441 Barbara Chaffin, Carl Mullen, Carolyn Embach, and Katherine Payne are shown discussing a sentence in English I. This course starts students on the road that leads them through exciting dis- coveries in high school literature and English usage. Mrs. Biggers teaches all English I classes. ' 2 Mary Epton, who won second in sentence structure in Ada, ex- plains the diagraming of a sentence to Gray Cluek, Anita Nichols, Myrna Sanderson, Jo Ann Crossland, and Bobby Howard in Eng- lish II. English II presents everyday aspects of grammar together with the appreciation of literature. 9

Dorothy won third in Spanish at Edmond. and Shirley placed second at Ada. Lu Koch-now attending school at Pampa, TexasA won first at Ada and second at Edmond. When students like these finish two years study of the Spanish language, they, reading Span- ish a little, writing Spanish a little, are more tolerant of a foreign country, its customs and its people.
