Mrs. Emerson gives out a homework assignment, and her stu- dents look none too happy. Miss Hinson’s sophomore English class works to get their papers done before the end of the period. ' .mphasis on literature Mrs. Rhodes sits in the hack of the class, and woe he to any student whose report doesn ' t come in loud and clear. In junior English the major emphasis is on American literature. The philosophies and ideas of our country’s past and present are studied. The student reads widely and learns to write concise reports. Correct usage and understanding of English is stressed. The literature course in senior English acquaints stu- dents with our British heritage in literature, in language, and in ideas. Poems, essays, journals, novels, histories, short stories, plays, and biographies are included in the course. The seniors find a better understanding of them- selves and others in these readings. Compositions in senior English, both formal and informal, are based on the readings. From this course seniors obtain preparation both for college and for immediate jobs.
