Become Sophisticated English Scholars Joyce W. Barber Mary Litts Burton Marie P. McEwan Ann T. Barton Ellen Tuckwiler Silence is golden is not the rule for English students at A.C.H.S. Oral book reports, class discussions, and spontaneous speeches help students develop poise and confidence in communi- cating with their peers. Eighth graders move from a light to a more intricate study of the fundamentals of grammar as they strengthen their ability to use the English language. Freshmen delve into deeper literary works such as ROMEO AND JULIET, while sophomores receive their first glimpse of the immortal Shakespearean work, JULIUS CAESAR. Panic-stricken juniors experience sleepless nights as they des- perately struggle to beat term paper deadlines. At the same time, these eleventh graders are expected to continue their study of America ' s literary heritage. Seniors survey their understanding acquired from previous grammar courses before undertaking the study of British literature. Jacqueline Lee Moore 19
