English English Classes Qiress Depth The four year English course consists of various studies. During freshman and sophomore years, the students receive a broad view of literature and grammar. Juniors and seniors are engrossed with a thorough understanding of American and English literature respectively. English has taken on a new perspective this year through the use of films. By see- ing these movies, discussions on mood, theme, and characterization come easily. Studying dramatics has brought forth an appreciation of talent such as stu- dents enacting parts of plays. Another means of learning can be demonstrated by interpreting modern art and literature. This serves to link the old with the new. Heading the English Department this year is Sister Ann Colette. Her days are spent teaching senior English. Monthly she meets with the other English teachers in order to coordinate their programs and discuss activities that will be both edu- cational and enjoyable. Sister Ann Colette, at the left, is the head of the English Department. Mr. Stephen Shank, junior teach- er, is at the right. Mr. Robert Murphy, sophomore English teacher, appears at the bottom left.
