Something New In Because there were two new English courses added this year, some students were able to advance their English skills beyond the level of the required courses. The department offered as new courses a class in novel and short story and a class in advanced grammar and creative writing. The novel and short story class gave students a chance to read a variety of selec- tions and to discuss them in depth with classmates. The advanced grammar and creative writing class allowed students to im- prove the mechanics of their writing and to English delve into producing more imaginative and distinctive prose and poetry. Whether in elective courses or required courses, all English students spent a good deal of time sharpening grammar skills. Freshmen had the opportunity to read one of the greatest love stories of all time, Romeo and Juliet. Research papers took up much of the time for upperclassmen. All grades spent some time reading short stories and novels. However one chose to look at it, the topics covered in the English classes were certainly varied. 28 English
