Editors of Opus 67 make layout plans for Central’s newest publication — the literary magazine. Members of Miss Denny’s senior English class plan a panel discussion to emphasize dictionary skills. CURRICULUM . . . English offers regular courses, Sophomores make rapid progress in reading compre¬ hension under the careful supervision of Mrs. Rives. Striving for mastery in all English classes, Central High students explored the general aspects of literature, grammar, and composi¬ tion. Sophomores entering Central High’s English program found drills and themes to be written, and plays, poetry, biography, and fiction to be read. Juniors studied American literature and sought original topics for themes. Seniors found the new English course — advanced composition — a real challenge to their power of expression. Care¬ ful screening gave English students on all class levels the opportunity to exercise their talents and develop their skills. This year a new venture in writing was launched — Central High School’s literary magazine — entitled Opus 67. The advanced composition class played a major part in selecting material and writing for the maga¬ zine. The first issue of the publication was scheduled to come off the press during the spring semester. 30
