Electives To Fit The Needs Of All Students Miss Daniel instructs one of her students In remedial English, a new course offered this year. The session 1966-67 saw a broadening of the English Course offerings. The regu- lar curriculum continued to offer a sequen- tial and cumulative program over the five years that a student is required to take English. However, courses in Advanced Composition and World Literature were initiated this year as electives for Juniors and Seniors who wished further study in these areas. Remedial courses in English and Reading at the eighth and ninth grade lev- els were also available for those students who had difficulty in En( lish and in their general high school studies. Furthermore, interest in speech as an elective was so abundant that additional classes in this course had to be added.
