'HamIet,' used to make the story become more realistic to everyone. 26 Largest in the school, the English department offered 93 classes to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, under the instruction of 244 teachers. Always the main objective was to develop in students better ways to read, to write, to speak, and to listen. Sophomores began their year with an orien- tation unit to acquaint them with their school, their classmates, and their instructors. Then followed a study of American literature and of mechanics of English. For the junior year English literature and techniques of grammar and composition were the main pattern of study. Senior English was divided by semesters into literature-a close study of a few classics or of world literature-and composition, both oral and written, with grammar and vocabulary study.
