The English department has worked on the principle that correct oral expression is of as much Im portance as correct written expres sion, and that insofar as it proclaims 'more spontaneously -the preparation of the pupil, it is of more importance. In planning this work we have en deavored to mako it as practicable as possible In the freshmen and sophomore classes it has been the simple retelling of a narrative the students have aead, but special at tention is paid to enunciation, inflec tion of the voice, and standing posi tion. As the yoar advanced such as signments frero given as "Two ladies meet at a department store. Give their conversation." "Two men meet on the street; they havo not seen each ciher in twenty years. Give their conversation." When these are given, the entire class takes notes and criticised1 freely when rec itation was over. In the Senior and Junior classes more advanced work was done. As signments vary from five minute talks on, "What college shall I attend and why' or "What vocation would be practicable for me to take up." Nomination speeches, for various candidates, introduction speeches and campaign addresses were usually given in the auditorium whore a chairman (a member of the class) presides and introduces the speakers. The class takes a vote on the stand ing position of various speakers, of any grammatical error they may have made and usually vote as to who was the best speaker. ' In all classes alike this work was given once a week but to teachers and pupils alike it seems the most profitable single day of the week. The head of tha. English depart ment is, by virtue of the student body constitution, faculty advisor for the Mimir, the high school publication. Four numbers are put out during the year, the last of which is the Senior number. With the exception of the faculty advisor it is entirely under student direction. It is financed by subscription money, advertising money and from the proceeds of the Senior play. The four numbers for the year 1916-17 have cost approx imately $475.00. Extemporaneous speaking was also assigned the pupil and he was re quired to make two or three minute talks. One play was written and act ed out by the pupils which seemed to stimulate interest, Dobating is another phnso of the work, the sub ject for this yenr being "Military training should be compulsory in the high school." Special attention was given to business writing, letters of friendship and of application. Com positions were written. ' Foreign Language Department In the German department the magazine, Aus Nah and Fern was used.. with - profit. This publication ; appears four times a year and gives news in German of both Germany and America. The German club has giv on programs, the features of which have been the singing of Gorman songs, and reciting German 'poems acting dialogues and playing games. Written and oral vocabulary matches were held to stimulate the enlarging of the vocabulary also note books of synonyms and derivatives were kept for the same purpose. Biology Department.
