Combined Classes Provide Transition The combined class program consists of English and social studies fused into a single course which meets for a two-hour period. The social studies units begin with a study ofthe cultures of the ancient world and their influence on Western civilization, followed by a study of Western Europe, Africa and Asia. The Eng- lish emphasis is on study skills, reading, writing, speak- ing, and listening, with the practice and use of these skills in related social studies subject matter. The course is designed to provide a transition from the grade school, prepare the student for high school, and give him a survey of our social heritage, and an understanding of our international world of today.

Vehicles of English The art of writing, reading, speaking and listening cor- rectly are the primary vehicles within the English de- partment. The objective of these courses is to develop clarity of expression and communication in composi- tion. There are paramount concepts in the regular English class room and it is generally the literary con- tent that provides the material for composition. Within literature lies the substance that deals most closely with manis self-understanding and therefore the understanding of others. Four elective courses offer a variety and intensity that the regular English room teacher cannot hope to match. These courses include drama, journalism, a reading program and speech. KGREA T .. .
