ran wild wiTh Marjorie Kinnan Rawling's Jody BaxTer and his wild fawn, Flag. So we passed on To The sophomore year. Then came The inTroducTion of Shakespearean Tragedy in The form of Julius Caesar. Usually laughing, chaTTering sophomores sfrode Through The h a l ls murmuring, Friends, Romans, CounTrymen, Lend me your ears , or per- haps iT was, For lowliness is young ambiTion's ladder . . . . While some classes labored wiih The newly found Tragedy, oThers were reading As You Like IT and suffering wiTh Rosalind and Orlando, or philosophizing wiTh Duke Senior and The melan- choly Jacques. Then Through The eyes of Sidney Carfon we caughT glimpses of war-Torn Paris dur- ing The French RevoluTion, we saw The suffering of DocTor and Lucy lVlaneTTe. Our iunior year was de- voTed To ForTiTude, ldylles of The King, and Mac- beTh. Besides These pieces de resisTances The sTudy of essays and poeTry was inserTed. Senior English was The cap sheaf. Then we underfook The sTudy of Shakespeare's mighTiesT Tragedy, Ham- leT. Then, Too, we sfudied The conTemporary novels of England and America.

The terms: meter, foot, dactyl, spondee, and others were added to our vocabulary. Poets such as Whittier, Longfellow, and Riley became known to us through their works. Then we entered high school English and had our first introduction to Shakespeare.
