Knowledge of Both Grammar and Literature The English Department added to its faculty this year Mrs. Carolyn Austin Eubank and Mr. David Webb, former Brookville graduates, and Mrs. Sandra Mclvor Thompson, a graduate of New London Academy. In addition Journalism was included in the curriculum. Also Linguistics was begun in the freshman and junior English classes, with its being added to the eighth grade, sophomore and senior classes next year. Along with the Linguistics will be added new literature books for next year. The English teachers worked toward preparing parallel reading lists and securing extra supplementary materials that might help to make the teach- ing of English more effective. i ; 4 ea x h ao 4 “ ¥ 4 y S en “ ed ‘] th oy ay a En - b ‘ A i” a - z LY i a vb by os : BY “ Ann C, Gorman Phyllis C.

English Department Strives to Give Students Miss Taylor and Barry Ore enjoy working on a crossword puzzle in English 8. Mrs. Gorman and her student-teacher, Mrs. Tucker, review plans for fifth period English. Janice Parker and Robert Martin seem to enjoy Mrs. Eubank’s teaching The Tempest. The Brookville English Department again strived to broaden the individual’s knowledge of his native language. In conjunction with an extensive program of English literature and the fundamentals of grammar, senior students were offered two specialized courses Creative Writing and Speech and Dramatics. A valuable innovation in the year’s program was a cooperative plan with Lynchburg College, under which student-teachers from the college conducted classes for one semester under the super- . vision of Brookville faculty members. These students were given | the chance to gain knowledge about lesson planning, different | teaching methods, and other school procedures before assuming full-time classroom responsibilities.
