All fifteen of Aldine's English teachers attempted to teach the students at Aldine something of the fas- cinating characters in our literature. The freshman classes studied Great Expectations, which was writ- ten by Charles Dickens. These students shall always remember their first encounter with Pip and Miss Ha- visham. Aldine's sophomore class met Silas Marner, the miser who found happiness without money. The juniors had a somewhat varied selection of novels. While some students were reading The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible, others were reading The Pearl. Thus, the students ended a year with a bit of knowl- edge of literature. In Senior English, composition is stressed more than literature to prepare students for college. Humanities is offered to the students who wish to study literature more seriously. These students at- tended the Alley Theatre every month to see such plays as The Rose Tattoo and The Andersonville Trials. Journalism, Communicative English, or Busi- ness English is offered if Senior English is not pre- ferred. S Amelia Schmidt is preparing for her critical analysis on The Cruci- ble. Literature Donna Walker like many other students finds time to search for a lis brary book for a book report.
