The four levels— remedial, general, college preparatory, and accelerated— are offered to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Three years of English are required for graduation.

Drama classes have been revived this year and speech classes have been enriched with the addition of a debate course. In all courses the study of grammar and mechanics of writing are stressed; students use two texts, an anthology of literature and a handbook of grammar. In all English classes the text books are supplemented with films, recordings, and classroom libraries. pM||j| 1 . K Jtf tk ' ' 1 bX ' ' l S9 iS ft J S ; ' ' K Jfl l jl|fl siiQ V AjP ?
