By studying ,English We learn a little bit about all types of authors, so that We may choose our reading material intelligently. Be- sides literature we learn about grammar and sentence structure, so we may express ourselves with more clarity and directness. CPictured: Some Tale of Two Cities projects at open house done by the sophomores, and, below, center picture is diagramming by Ira Townsend and Carol Larson in Junior English. Regardless of whether or not one is planning to design houses, drafting can be an asset. In drafting or mechanical drawing, the student learns how to make and read blueprints, and in so doing gains an understanding of how much work goes into the planning of buildings and machines. QPictu'red: Mr. Sparks pointing out a drawing to John Hanley, Perry Johnson, and Harry Thomfoh'rda.J At W.C.H.S. there is a Wide variety of math courses ranging from general math to trig. In many business fields a complete understanding of algebra and geometry is essential. In every- day life one can hardly manage without at least a knowledge of arithmetic and its byproduct of developing accurate and efficient thinking.
