In English classes students are introduced to a wealth of great litera- ture and gain in both appreciation and tech i l skills. Miss Margaret Young, absent when the depart- ment picture tabovel was taken, discusses a book with her eighth grade group. From eighth to twelfth grade, there is an increased stress on creative use of the rudiments that have been studied: spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and research methods. Seniors are in a rotating program or an advanced place- ment class. e l 2 ., -.,- .'4 , I - A ' ,f'. I . . fy ML- -E-f . ' :', '-7. .. A-.4:f.,.-vi. ,'-A pdl. I- I I 'I ,ff I, Mgr! I.
