H.r CULTY.H En lish One of the largest departments at Will Rogers is our English Department, under the direction of Mrs. Madge Gibson. Every student is required to take English all three years in high school, however, either Bus- iness English or College Preparatory Eng- lish may be taken in the studentls senior year. In our English classes we usually have one semester of grammar and composition, alternating with one semester of literature, Included in this department are the jour- nalism classesg the school newspaper and the yearbook. Also, each year a school lit- erary magazine, the R0per's Review, is pub- lished by the English Department. These things offer additional training for enter- ing special vocations after graduation. l ,, :f i 'ff - ,W if 5 ' f il --L Tommie Barnes f f' -iiq '. ., 5 :.
