Mrs. Averett admires the student artwork done on the American In- dian. Reading Maketh a Full Man. All four classes at Turner County High find English and Literature a vital part of their curriculum. Freshmen, in composing their autobiogra- phies, find creative writing challenging. An introduction to Shakespeare through his play Julius Caesar, highlights literature in the Sophomore classes. Edgar Allan Poe's sus- pense and mystery intrigue Juniors as they explore his literary contributions. Choosing a topic for a term paper that would be interest- ing and informative is another first for Juniors. English for Seniors involves the detailed study of the English Language and of Chaucer and Shakespeare. Expressing oneself intelligently is necessary for success and Turner County High's English Department strives to fulfill this objective. Mrs. Woodard's English Class enjoys their study of Silas Marner. English Department Janice Wiley solicits the advice of Mrs. Averett about a term paper topic. MRS. H. H. AVERETT A.B.
