Great works of literature provide us with a vast amount of
insight into the world around us. Through literature we
can familiarize ourselves with people and things not nor­
mally found in Levittown. Here at Wilson our English
Department strives to maintain and improve the commu­
nicative skills of its students. Mr. Chad Martin, the new
department chairman this year, hopes to improve the
English program by putting extra emphasis on the teach­
ing of the basic skills of English. Areas such as vocabulary,
grammar, and composition are subjects which are receiv­

ety of courses is also offered to Wilson students including
courses in the study of conflict, love, environment, occu­

own courses, the student gains knowledge of the world
through his own interests. The English Department has an
extremely difficult challenge, but it continues toward its
goal: to prepare the Wilson student for life in a world
where communication is vital.
