EmUtsIt Department English, often regarded as the anathema of students. focuses upon four major areas—writing, grammar, vocabulary, and literature. Freshmen, during “the best years of their lives’’, think of English as required; juniors and seniors, however, begin to appreciate its value in understanding, and in communicating thoughts. At Woonsocket, we offer college, general, business, and vocational English, in order to best prepare each student for the future. Mr. Leo J. Allard, Jr. Miss Ruth E.

iCmtguagp Department In recent years our Language Department has adopted a modern form of teaching languages called audio-lingual. Teachers first emphasize speaking and understanding, then go on to reading and writing. A necessary tool in improving pronunciation and comprehension is the relatively new language laboratory. A student is also introduced to the culture of France, Spain. Rome, and Germany and to the world of declensions, inflections, and accents. The department currently offers two years of German and Latin, three of Spanish and four of French. Miss Harriet I. Jalbert Chairman Teachers teach students . . . and teachers? Mr. Kenneth L.
