English Department Experiments With Flexible Program The English Department is kept busier than ever this year. Each teacher is exposed to countless meetings de¬ signed to suggest new direction and a changing curricu¬ lum. Many more hours will be devoted to rewriting the existing course of study and reviewing possible additions to an elective program for the 1972-1973 school year. One goal of this effort is a more flexible schedule for both students and teachers. Although the future is being considered, the present syllabus must be met. And the teachers of Freshman English do an outstanding job: they not only teach the required material, but also introduce the student to study habits necessary for high school work. The Tenth grade curriculum places emphasis on vocab¬ ulary study, grammar, and World Literature. The sopho¬ more is initiated into the world of short stories and poetry, while the Juniors prepare research papers and study American Literature. Seniors are asked to display many latent talents; some they never dreamed they possessed. Writing poetry, a task which at first seems impossible, is made easier after a study of poetic devices: rhyme, rhythm, and re-write. Also, methods for writing term papers and compositions are polished. One goal of Senior E nglish is to perfect the skills that students have accumulated over the years.
