GAZING AT THE ARTWORK of one of her Honors English students, Mrs. L. Harrison decides to give him credit in her gradehook. LAURIE SMITH DANCES to the strumming of Mr. Creen's guitar as Patti Zimmerman and Charles Deur read from The Pearl. English, Comp, Journalism Required tudy Honors English devoted its time to analyzing and criticizing intriguing novels. Honor students were ex- pected to write themes with original ideas and no grammatical errors. The academic and general English programs at Jeff taught grammar and literature to sophomores and juniors. Commas and capitals vexed even the smartest ones at times. Burdened with home- work papers, book reports, and themes, the students learned sentence structures, proper grammar, and the intense meanings of stories. journalism classes learned the functions of a suc- cessful newspaper. Trying to use what they learned resulted in more interesting stories. After experimenting with several writing techniques, composition students learned to express themselves more clearly. The real test of their knowledge came when they were required to compose a theme during class. Opinion essays and description paragraphs, along with term papers, utilized their previously learned knowledge of English. MR. HOPKINS GIVES Trina Bingaman a few helpful pointers about her opening paragraph of the in-class theme she is writing. Page 25
