riting ls Stressed A special English course offered to juniors was journalism, which placed importance on writing in a journalistic style and prepared students for newspaper and yearbook work. VV ith the approval of their teachers seniors could become staff members of School Life or Tom Tom. Also available to seniors was a one semester course in creative writing and one in world literature. All students profited by frequent trips to the library and to the north auditorium, where pertinent films were shown throughout the year. Many pupils performed skits in class to characterize poems, books, or short stories. Some entered, and a few won, writing contests open to all high school students. And, of course, as every English student knows, book reports were a regular part of the English curriculum. Miss Louise Wilsoii was department chairman. i26l Miss Bertie Coetschius, junior English instructor, discusses 'ldylls of the King' with her sixth hour class who take notes on in- formation she is giving them.
