Communication skills were emphasized in all classes, and for eleventh and twelfth graders who were weak in English, opportun- ity classes in basic English were available. Apart from special courses such as 'IOA Journalism, Dramatics, Radio Speech and Speech, the department set up five areas courses from which students could elect ad- vanced work if they wished. These included advanced English E classes and Literature. 'English Workshop class helped Parkers who had difficulty in composition, grammar, spelling or reading. These workshops were assigned in addition to regular English classes. English and social studies constituted the core program for the 9B's. Literature, oral and written composition and functional gram- mar made up the course. Book reports played a vital part of the Parker's English requirements.
