ENGLISH Logic students try to use ES P in class Logic helps one to become open- minded and to carefully review evidence for logical validity, said Michele Bail- ey. Jim Savage said, It's a thought provocking class: makes you see things in writing and speeches that you would have otherwise missed. Ann Broyles who read Cyrano de Ber- gerac said, The whole class was in tears when we finished it. Paula McKenna said, Although I don't plan to go on and be a writer, Begin- ning Journalism has helped me write better and more freely in all types of writing. Robin Puffenbarger said, It's fun to read and study literature but grammar is another story. Another student said, After talking to friends from other schools I would much rather go 84 ACADEMICS: CU RRI CU LUM here than there. The teachers are young and more on our IeveI. i Debbie Drachman said, I like Genera- tive Rhetoric because I never before had really understood the grammar part of English but nowl feel I do. Mr. Croteau, chairman of the English department said, Generative Rhetoric is the first system that marries gram- mar and composition. He said that when the ACT scores were compared to two other schools we had improved the most. He said that we had gone up in standings since 1969. Students registered in six elective courses as compared to 12 electives last year. However, due to strong interest now in Contemporary Litera- ture, Modern Media, and Logic, there were th ree sections of each th is year.
