Tennyson, Hawthorne, Shakespeare provide Central High students investigated the general facets of literature, gram¬ mar, and composition in an endeavor to master their skills in English class¬ es. Drills and the basic structure of paragraphs were stressed for sopho¬ mores to supplement their writing of themes. The literature ranged from Idylls of the King to A Separate Peace. Juniors studied classical and modern American authors, poetry scansion, and fundamental grammar rules. Concentrating on creative composi¬ tions, seniors spent long hours during second semester writing term papers. English V, an accelerated course stressing interpretation, comparison, and critical analysis af literary works, was open to selected seniors.
