With the concentration on World Literature, stu- dents rounded out their high school English program with an appreciation of the literature of other lands. Advanced work in grammar and composition also made up the course study in English IV. Students who had shown exceptional achievement in English were selected for an Ad- vanced Placement course. This full-year program emphasized extensive research into literary works, intensive reading, and panel discussions. -ea Horton, Hilke, Bucher, Wiltsie Chambers The literary heritage of the American people was the subject of Sophomore English. Students were introduced to a variety of our country's writers, both past and present, and to the periods in which they lived and wrote. They became acquainted with and learned to evaluate style and technique, and to appreciate such authors as Mel- ville, Hawthorne, Hemingway, and Wilder. The concentration in the junior year was on the literature of England, with emphasis on the time- less works of Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Dickens. Students also became familiar with the develop- ment of the English language from the Anglo- Saxon period to the present.

To be able to speak effectively is becoming more and more essential in modern society. With this as one of their goals, students enrolled in Speech became increasingly pro- ficient at organizing their thoughts and presenting them orally. In Practical English, students became familiar with areas of our language which would better enable them to find and secure positions after graduation. They also de- voted time to areas of communication which are meaningful in today's world. Bottom row: Shefiield, Mitchell. Second row: Casler, Harriger. English To be able to express oneself well in writing is a fundamental requisite of intelligent communica- tion. Seniors enrolled in English Expression learned to improve composition skills in prepara- tion for college work or careers. As well as various types of essays, creative efforts produced short stories and poetry. Another elective, Literary Appreciation, familiarized students with methods of evaluation and criticism of literature. It enabled students to see a meaningful relationship between literature and their immediate world. Sullivan, Dennies. Students who wished to improve and strength- en their reading ability enrolled, voluntarily, in the Developmental Reading course. This course offers help in increased rates of reading and comprehen- sion, critical reading, vocabulary, interpretation and critical analysis. Aided by such modern equip- ment as controlled readers, the tachistoscope, and shadowscope, students in this course were able to develop reading skills which were invaluable to their academic lives. 22
