Sophomore English Teachers With 1,040 sophomores registered, seven teachers were added to the faculty. Many of these teachers, as well as the students they teach, are new to the high school. Sophomore English is taught on three levels according to the aptitudes and abilities of the individual student, and all three are coordinated courses in literature-short story, poetry, novel, essay, and drama. They also polish up on grammar with original composi- tions written about the literature of their study. A special mythology course, in level one, a unit of good study habits, and even a set of guides for best use of the library, are included in the curriculum. Outside reading, films, and projects pertaining to the unit be- ing studied supplement the program. 28 Jolene Thompson asks Mrs. Butler about her lesson while Tommy Beene looks on.
