COMBINATION EFFECTS TRANSITION Combined English-Social Studies classes on the freshman level effect a smooth transition from the single classroom system of elementary school to the more complex situation existing in our high schools. The social studies curriculum covers the cultures of western Europe, Asia, and Africa from historical to contemporary times. The English course offers seg- ments on study skills, composition, grammar and a unit on Homer’s Odyssey. The combination of English and social studies has not only accomplished its aim of aiding the individual adjustment of freshman students, but has proved to be a most effective way of acquainting students with the interdependence of the two subjects.

STUDENTS DISCOVER LANGUAGE ARTS The world of language arts, reading, writing, listen- ing, and speaking, unfolds every day to all students answering the challenge of English. Many courses are offered at Wilson in this field. In the regular course of study, the freshmen combine English and social studies, vocations are emphasized at the sophomore level, and juniors grapple with poetry and American literature. As seniors, students may choose to study either English or contemporary literature, or they may work at developing specialized composition skills. Extra courses not less in value are Drama and effect- iive reading for college preparation. All of these courses uphold the objective of the de- partment which is to instill in the students an ap- preciation of world literature, and to teach the tech- nical aspects of their language through original composition.
