The English department, again this year, offered a wide variety of courses. One major change in the English program was that juniors were required to enroll in an American literature class. Mr. De- Jaeger led a staff of thirteen teachers who taught twenty-nine different courses. These courses ranged from introduction to world literature and communication skills to drama and masterpieces of British lit- erature. Students not only worked on im- proving their grammar, spelling, and vo- cabulary, but they also gave impromptu speeches, read short stories, and studied legendary tales.
