1939 Legenda English Although students habitually groan at assign- ments, they eventually are thankful for the excel- lent background of grammar, composition, and literature they receive in high school English courses. The six semester courses offered require two semesters of literature and two of composition in the sophomore and junior years. A choice may be made in the senior year between non-college or business English and college preparatory English. Many units of work through the three years offer opportunities for varied projects. Among those undertaken this year were drawings and miniatures to illustrate the Gate of Camelot the sword Excalibur, and the Arthurian castle made by sophomores in the study of “Idylls of the King.” Poems and notebooks interested juniors while the conversation of seniors centered about The Canterbury Tales and thousand word themes. The 3utman-Fish Library finds itself crowded for several weeks before themes are due. The capa- ble librarians assisting students are Miss Ruth Anderson, head librarian; Miss Helen Oppenheim, reference desk; Miss Thusnelda Salvner, and Miss Rosemary Fitzharris. Business English classes conducted a magazine survey to become acquainted with a variety of magazines. They received practice in letter writ ing while asking for sample copies of the maga zines selected and followed these with thank-you letters. The climax of this survey was a series of sales talks for the selected magazines.
