Proper Use of English

witi

Competence in the use of English is vital today in all
fields of endeavor. Almost every job requires mastery of
basic language skills, and college work demands proficiency
in all phases of English. With these goals in mind, TJ of-
fers a good foundation in English to all its students.
English is a broad subject that includes a variety of
study areas, such as expository and creative writing, liter-
ature in all its forms, and the mechanics of the language,
grammar. Class and outside work provide students with
much practice in all these areas and train them to use
English effectively.

\{R. ISABELLA BJERRING, chairman of the English
I)epartment, has long been a world traveler. Her classes
benefit from her talks on life in other parts of the world.
This year Mrs. Bjerring represented Thomas Jefferson
High Schlool at the National Council of Teachers of Eng-
lish convention in San Francisco.
SETTING UP THIS student project of "The King and I" did not really require all these hands, but it served as an amusing center of
interest for a picture of these English teachers: Miss Doris Crisp, English III and IV; Mrs. Margaret Barry, English II and IV; Mr.
John Aikman, English II; Mrs. Faye Lynn White, English II and III; Mr. Kerry Kent Morris, English II and III; and Miss Nancy
Creswell, English II and III.
