The English Department.
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.
At the beginning of spring the en
tire biology class took the pledge to
plant and care for gardens during the
coming season and to supervise
grade children in such work when
called upon. Room 3 lost 18 o'-t of
