CURRICULUM . . . Varied English courses. Miss Brookbank gives her senior English class an assign¬ ment to prepare for discussion. English students at CHS explored the many- sided aspects of the English language through a study of English and American literature and the fundamental elements of grammar and composition. Advanced seniors had an op¬ portunity to learn creative writing by study¬ ing advanced composition, a relatively new course at Central High. Well-planned speeches, dramatic skits, and spirited discussions enlivened many English classes. Other activities which were designed to develop effective communication of ideas included writing business and social letters, interpreting written problems, composing, paragraphs, building vocabulary through word study, and preparing research papers. Writing for school publications—magazine, newspaper, and yearbook — also provided students an opporunity to develop journalistic skills. Realizing the importance of studying, junior English stu¬ dents concentrate on reading material. Sophomore English students note helpful slogans on the bulletin board. 30
