Countless juniors and seniors encountered the unforgettable char- acters as they became engrossed with the brilliant novels and plays. Structural significance, colors, and names all became symbolic and a part of their considerations as they relived the main ideas of the litera- ture. Sophomores weren ' t left out as they kept busy reading The Pearl and Cry The Beloved Country. The realiza- tion of human suffering and sacri- fice became evident to them while reading these books. Making its debut at CHS in the En- glish Department was the Bible Litera- ture course.

Greater understanding of biblical preachings and teachings were gained after quotes from the Bible were discussed.
