IN WORLD LIT CLASS, Miss Doelle stimulates interest in the arts with prints of famous works throughout the world. ' Whatever interests and needs a student may have, there is an English course available for him. A vari- ety of subiects are offered, including American, Eng- lish, and world literatures, general English, advanced composition, business English, iournalism, and modi- fied English. In the college preparatory curriculum, sophomores learn about the growth of literature in our country by studying American literature. As juniors, many students delve into the works of British poets, essay- ists, and novelists. They study such classics as Mac- beth and A Tale of Two Cities. Seniors preparing for higher education involve themselves in a detailed study of grammar and writing in advanced composi- tion classes. Students taking general English courses find in- teresting lessons about applying the skills of writing, reading, and speaking. One semester courses that attract iuniors and seniors are world literature, iour- nalism, and business English. This year the national experiment known as Proi- ect English was continued at Sexton for a second year. Designed to improve student writing, the pro- gram involved certain classes of Miss Ludwig and Mr. Ferzacca. Due to the considerable amount of written composition, lay theme readers assisted with the correction of work. Those who took part in the nation-wide experiment were proud to know they were helping educators determine the best methods of encouraging literary creativity.
