MISS MARY FRANCES CLAGGETT MR. ARTHUR MR. L. D. F. MOORE REGELLO A highlight of this year's English Department program was a trip to San Francisco to see the National Reperatory Theatre's A Touch of the Poet by juniors aed seniors of regular English and Humanities classes. A variety of field trips to plays and concerts, including the Stanford Reperatory Theatre's ''An- tony and Cleopatra, ’ and several electronic sound concerts, were taken by the Humanities classes. In addition, the Humanities classes were presented a program of poetry readings by guest speakers from the San Francisco Poetry Center. MR. J. E. MRS. COURTNEY SCHNEIDER SMITH MRS. JUDITH SYKES Sam Russell leans toward the more aesthetic side of English. Now in its second year, the Humanities course differs from the standard English class in that literature is related to the history and culture of a certain period. Along with this course, this year's English pro- gram included a regular four year course in English. Each year's studies included literature, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and oral composi- tion. The department taught the four grades on a spiral program, which is based on the principle that a student's previous year of English ies prepared him for his next. MRS. JUDITH THOMPSON MR.
