English Humanities Unique class focuses on communication Students struggle to gain appreciation of art, music Focusing on class discussions of Ralph Waljlo Emerson's Compensation, Mozart's Sonata in A Minor, and Van Gogh's painting Starry Night, isn't the easiest task in the world. Ask any English Humanities 7 student, or for that matter, any stu- dent at Edsel Ford who has had to struggle with the three-pronged English, art, and music program. Remember one of those first days in the 10B semester when the English teacher announced the days that the class would have art and music. Boy! Everyone thought, Fun and games for two days each week. And weren’t class members surprised when they found that their notes were hardly com- plete enough to pass the mid-semester exam. And, how much more maddening it was to have to write that first art analysis paper, or that original musi- cal composition. When one reaches his senior year, however, he begins to realize that the art and music hardships have actually deepened his appreciation and com- munication. Still, it’s not the easiest task. With such a diversity of material to absorb, students find consultation with the teacher a necessity. Mr. John Pinter discusses elements of English composition with Linda Williams as they review a theme. StofF ond Acodemic Uf« 17
