One such punishment con- sisted of writing an essay on anything they wanted. Scott Cooper chose to write about The Seven Words You Can ' t Say On TV . Others wrote about The Romantic Era . Mrs. Weaver ' s second hour class, which consisted of seven people, continually tried to get her off the subject. There were times when discussions concerning marriage, the Iranian crisis, and other current events took the place of English for the day. Sister Roselma ' s freshman English Classes also did their share of reading. Of Mice and Men, The Merchant of Venice, Rip Van Winkle, and The Pearl were only a few of the many books covered. Students enjoyed Sister Roselma ' s class. Some re- marked that she could make even the most boring sub- jects exciting, like the ever popular punctuation and composition assignments.
