By the time a student reaches his junior year he should have a good foundation of the essentials of sentence structure. So Grammar III is a detailed review of all such elements of sentence analysis. Dia- grams and punctuation are stressed in sentence inter- pretation. MRS. SUE MORROW English II and IV B.A., Southwest Texas State College FOREIGN MR. CHARLES F.
