Linda Hawkins learns to speak over interruptions as the class purposely tries to confuse her. Students entering their senior years have a var- iety of English courses they may take. First of all, there is a speech course, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Kern. In this class stu- dents build up confidence and poise while speak- ing to a group. Panel discussions and notebooks prove to be a great help in preparing and giving speeches. A special senior composition class offers a sample of college work to college-bound students. In this course vocabulary and theme writing are dominant features. With topics ranging from rocket ships to common weeds, composition stu- dents write their dreaded term papers. Finally comes a course that is making its second appearance this year, the World Literature course taught by Miss Elizabeth Handley and Mr. Karl Kiger. During the semester seniors study my- thology, the Bible, Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, and modem short stories. Whether it be reading, writing, speaking or listening, you will get them and much more in the KHS English course. John Warner writes notes for his term paper on The St. Lawrence Seaway. 27
