Krioxmlecjqea Flor L:fez--- EnqHshIV,V Developing habits of good thinking. learning the mechanics of formal writing for college use. and studying the masterpieces of English Literature form the pattern of English IV. Throughout the year Mrs. Julia K. Sparger. senior English teacher. stresses college preparatory work. Constructive habits of thinking are taught throughout the entire course. Students do either a research theme of 2,000 words or a project of in- terviewing old-timers concerning their memories of early Oklahoma statehood. For their Shakespear- ian study in English Literature. Macbeth was chosen. English V, also taught by Mrs. Sparger, is designed for students not planning to attend col- lege. Emphasis is placed on vocabulary building, improvement of reading. and oral communication. Standardized tests are given at the first and close of the year to determine if the student has im- proved in the course. In all her classes Mrs. Sparger tries to impress the importance of definite skills in any field which they might enter upon graduation. .La A EnqHshlLIH A better understanding and appreciation of America through the study of American literature from its colonial beginnings to the present day is impressed upon English III students by instructors. Mrs. Dorothy Osborn and Mrs. Lillian Schenk. To further the study of American forms of writing. each student writes for his creative project a short story. Fromujulius Caesari' to Silas Marnern. from noun and verb forms to uldylls of the King . Soph- omore English students have emphasis divided evenly on literature and language. Simple com- position and construction of short paragraphs are all part of the grammar which is stressed by Eng- lish II teachers. Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Lawrence.
