Even though an English course is still required, juniors and seniors had their choice of classes. Some of the advantages were greater student interest, better class participation, possible background for college studies, and last but not least, not having a computer match you up with an in- compatible teacher. There was the conventional non-graded course, taught by Sr. Virginia Silvestri. For the less devoted students, Con- temporary World Novel, Shakespeare, Overvievv!Fiction, English Skills!American Literature, and World Literature existed. Ms. Eileen Eagen instructed Creative Writing, and super- vised the creation of Ouch! .,Themes in Film and Lit is a dramatic new course also taught by Ms. Eagen, where themes of various movies are analyzed. Both of these courses are semester electives.
