New English Program Initiated at Carl Hayden READING ability is the key to place- ment in the newly-initiated English Program. The new program is a joint effort by the English and Reading depart- ments to improve attendance, help lower the drop-out rate and pro- vide a more understandable cur- riculum for English. Placement in one of the nine class divisions is dependent on a test given in the spring to all stu- dents. Each class section has books which correspond with the reading ability of the students. Basically, the subject matter is the same as for former classes, but students, because of ability-keyed books, can read and understand their ma- terials better.
