ABC BOOGIE In the world todav there is an ever increasing de- mand for people who can express themselves well in speaking and writing. Our English curriculum endeavors to achieve this goal with a wide and varied schedule. Vile have public speaking to improve the speech and poise of the individual. Themes help to improve the pupil's methods of writing. A journalism class for seniors teaches know-how in writing stories and all the steps in publishing a newspaper. This is beneficial also in publishing a yearbook. The 9-C-2 English class under the direction of Mrs. Hoffman is correcting their homework in English grammar. Waylie Hildebrand delivers his public speech to the delight of Mr. Constein, Robert Snyder, chairman, and the ll-B class. ilfvirmmu , Q zf:ua-::.vxv5xsxxazixxxxnxasnesmzfsfem 'R The English Department members are examining the school's new tape recorder.
