Page 16 The Gleam FACULTY , yy, up Mr, Davis Miss Northern Miss Layton English Department No thought is completely developed either in the mind or conversation until it has taken the form of a sentence 5 history of the past becomes a concrete matter with the introduction of a written language as likewise the culture and advance- ment of a nation can be ascertained by its literature which portrays the people in their every day life. Because it is the means of communication and learning no cause can be pursued without a basic knowledge of English. An understanding of history, mathematics, foreign language, science, or any other study can only be brought about by an intelligent interpretation of the written or spoken word. . Because of the importance of the subject, three years of English is required of every student at Chrisman and a fourth year is elective. As a finish to the grade school and junior high work a drill in the fundamen- tals of composition and rhetoric is preferred. Dir. Davis' seventh hour class in English Literature, are studying Byron and listening to a discussion of Childe Harold. Byron was too deep for some as was shown by test grades 93 12
