english basics expande aa MISS LEOTA SCHROEDER Department Chairman MRS. MAUDE CARTER MRS. PAULINE AMES MRS. VIRGINIA ANDERSON MISS JUDITH BRISTOW There are four areas of study in each year of Eng- lish: reading and literature, writing, grammar, an oral presentation. Special classes, such as public speaking, reading lab, and humanities are also offered. The reading lab was created only last year to help students improve their reading skills. It is taught three periods in the morning by Mrs. Eloise Graf. The new equipment used is scalebis to the other English classes also. A new humanities course for Seniors this year was financed by an NDEA (National Defense Education Act) Grant. In a team teaching effort by Miss Fran Claggett and Miss Madge Holland, the fourth and fifth period classes learned about the ideas of man in art, music, painting, literature, and poetry. Guest lectures, participated in the program, which also in- cluded a field trip to the Giaccometti Art Exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Art, and to the Stanford Repertory Theatre to see Aeschylus’ play ‘Prometheus Bound.’ The students have at their disposal new — books, art slides, records, and humanities ilms.
