Billy Jennings, Larry Morgan, Steve Nix enjoy their classes. English Department No man can reveal to you aught but that which al- ready lies half asleep in the dawning of your know- ledge. Perhaps no one understands this wisdom better than a teacher of English. The teachers are trying to encourage the awakening of understanding, the desire to know and appreciate more fully their literary heritage, the unleashing of creativity, and the ability to communicate effectively. The three basic endeavors engaged in by grades seven through twelve to accomplish these goals are grammar, literature, and composition. In the ninth and tenth grades creativity is stressed through the writing of paragraphs and short essays. In the eleventh and twelfth grades longer compositions are introduced. Creative writing is studied also through the works of outstanding writers from the early periods of litera- ture through the modern writers. Mr. Frost captures nearly all the attention of his class as he explains a poem. 10

That is a great privilege, to be a citizen of the United States, and we must meet our responsibilities. So said John Kennedy. To instill in us a sense of pride in being Ameri- cans is considered important by the Social Studies teachers. Another primary goal of the depart- ment is to teach responsibilities as citizens with willing minds and good intentions.
