English offered many diversified courses High school English is one subiect that keeps moving with the student. He begins, of course, in America, and after its exploration during Sophomore year, he is shipped back from whence his language came: England. There he spends his Junior year, until curiosity causes him to expand to nearby Europe in his senior English class. Emphasis here is put on German, Italian, French and Spanish literature, this is considered a humanities course. Additionally, there is the master, William Shakespeare, whom we have the pleasure of encountering at least once annually. Besides American, English, and World literature, there Practice makes perfect. Mrs. Rogers, Miss Pace. are several elective courses from which the student may choose. There are English Expression, preparing the student for college, Practical English, a prerequisite for going out into the world, and Speech, an adventure in public speak- ing. Advanced Placement English is available for those having the ability to complete advanced work. Also, we have lntroduction to Television, Black Studies, and Litera- ture of the 6O's. The latter two courses look into con- temporary writings, lntroduction to Television was formed to give students a basic explanation of modern T.V. programming. They are 'tElectra -fied by World Literature in A. P. English. Porpilia, Shear, McDonnell.

This goal will be accomplished by reason- ing, not by memorization, the student must virtually discover through his own ettorts. The tenth grade students study Western Heritage, an examination of European History. American Studies, the iunior program, is a course designed to provide an understanding of the political and sociological development of our nation. ln the twelfth year, an oppor- tunity is given to the student to choose courses in International Relations, Economics, Ameri- can Politics, Russian History, Sociology, and Black Studies.
