RHODODENDRON CKOCRnrnr. MORRISON English Department VS TO the work in sophomore, junior and senior English, there was really no limit to the amount covered. All English classes spent a great deal of time researching in the several branches of American English and foreign literature. With the new reference books in the library, information was salvaged about the works and ideas of the modern as well as classical writers. As work in this line progressed, reports on the various phases were made as extra work, and according to (“lass records the English classes reached a more thorough study in their first semester work because of their extra research. The second semester was devoted to the details of composition and a check up of the essentials of the English language. Throughout the year, book reports were required of all English classes, all ty| es of non-fiction and fiction being read. Although quite unusual, a survey showed that more non fiction book reports were handed in than in the past years. The types studied included the novel, short story, essay, poetry, biography, drama and travel. The junior and senior English classes sought the more advanced branches of literature and composition in the way of debate, dramatics, radio broadcasting and creative writings. Miss Alene Morrison and Mr. Theodore Cederberg are the teachers of most of tin English classes. Business English is in cnarge of Miss Phyllis March. Pa e 11
