With Shakespeare generally running havoc . . . throughout the four-year course . . . and Scott . . . Milton . . . Poe . . .

Incidentally . . . the best parts of Fianklin's philosophies . . . are also digested in the freshman year. Silas Marner is by far . . . the most popular of the classics studied . . . in the sophomore class . . . As You Like It . . . The Making of an American . . . and the Oregon Trail . . . however, all prove very popular. With the junior year . . . come those ever-favor- ite one-act plays and short stories . . . while the Shakespearean classic . . . for this year . . . is The Merchant of Venice. And then that memorable senior year . . . that year of Woolley's handbook . . . of thesis . . . of let- ters . . . and compositions . . . approaches. Here at last there is . . . ample and frequent opportunity . . . for display of talent . . . in dramatics fthe board of Avon would have been pleased with many Lords and Ladies Macbethb. . . in writing . . . in speaking . . . in expression and in art. Literature, however, is only the gilded edge . . . cf the English course . . . the basis . . . consists of the usual study . . . of words . . . of phrases . . . of paragraphs . . . and of rules. Shakespearean classics attract students to undisturbed work. Projects also play an important part . . . in the English student's career . . . these range from me- chanical constructions . . . to literary creations . . . of the greatest originality and ingenuity . . . note- books, for some reason or another . . . generally pre- dominate in a project display. The seniors . . . under the guidance of Miss Maud Miller and Miss Martha Osborne . . . have their final opportunity . . . for acquiring knowledge . . . of the various essential details . . . which social life will soon require of them. Mr. Dovey . . . Mr. Benford . . . Miss Lafferty . . . Mr. Thompson . . . Miss Netzlof . . . Miss Mc- Bride . . . instill the fundamentals . . . of this course . . . into the other three classes.
