MR. LEIBEL MR. HORN Q 3 lr THE F En lis More than ever before, it is necessary to express oneself clearly and effectively. The English Department at T.A. makes a concerted fand we hope, successfulj effort to teach the student how to write and speak effectively and clearly. Writing extensively is an integral part of all the English courses at T.A. Students are taught the mechanics of English grammar, usage, and composition, and are encouraged to use what they have learned in writing original prose and poetry. Numerous school newspapers afford an excellent chance for interested individuals to practice the skills they have learned, and Themes, the student literary publication, encourages creative writing, by publishing original stories, essays, and poetry. Effective, correct speech is also stressed by the English department, and special classes are available for those with speech difficuties. At T.A. the student is also introduced to some of the masterpieces of the world's literature. By careful examination of these works a discriminating sense of tone and style is developed. In the course of four years of English reading, the student witness the siege of Troy with Homer, observes Soc- rates in his last moments, is entertained at the Tabard Inn, explores the inner reaches of men's minds with Shakespeare, meets Dickens' menagerie of characters, and sees the world through the eyes of Robert Frost. The student is ever encouraged to supplement classroom work with outside read- ing and make the wonderful world of books part of himself. Students at T.A. have the good fortune to be taught English by Messrs. Bloom, Leibel, Horn, and Gendell.. The enthusiasm of our English Faculty is contagious, the effects of the efforts, far reaching. Glimpsing the world of Homer with Mr. Gendell, exploring for the first time the world our poets see and hear it with Mr. Bloom, entering the world of David Cop- perfield with Mr. Horn, and hearing Shakespeare's soliloques read by Mr. Leibel-all these are, in different ways, experiences never to be forgotten. If one leaves T.A. a more educated person than when he entered, it is due in no small part to the efforts of our English Department .... MR. BLOOM f I J X iff: l I r ,.? - MR. GENDELL
