Pupils, Polishe Comprehension These facilities are a great benefit to basic students. Since basic classes have been eliminated, Trojans who need the extra help offered in these courses can turn to the lab facilities. The advanced placement class, an in- tensified program for high ability se- niors, stresses the study of the English language. If these students pass the May test, they Will receive college credit for their year's work. Differing from this program, the honors courses-also for high ability students-delve more deeply than other classes into philosophy and the interpretation of literature. Again this year, the honors courses were offered to students of all four classes upon recommendation, test scores, and the student's interest. Students in a junior English class are reading selections from the Cavalcade. ct magazine written especially for high school students. ENGLISH-Top row: Mrs. Dathel Lackey-English . .
