aA EO Wt THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, one of the books on the new reading lists, is enjoyed by Carol Beller. Arthur Hill’s English teachers took a new look at their curriculum in 1966. They planned to arrange their courses so that there would be more correlas tion between them, convinced that students would receive more benefit from their classes if, rather than cover the same grammar year after year, cer tain specific areas were stressed in each course. For example, the tenth grade classes would stress the parts of speech, the sentence, and the paragraph; and the twelfth grade would work on the long theme: In January the English teachers gathered to pre pare new reading lists. They chose books that a stimulating but not too difficult for the students of their grade level to read. Students in some English classes were required to buy certain paperback books such as Arrowsmith, The Lifetime Reading Plan, and Huckleberry Finn to supplement the materials given to them by the board of education. They studied these books both in and out of the classroom. English ‘Teachers Plan New Curriculum, DICTIONARIES never appear on reading lists, but Joyce Natali and every other student at Arthur Hill is encouraged to use them more than any other books in the library.
