ENGLISH To meet the diverse needs of all the stu- dents at CHHS, the English Department is di- vided into many different branches. In ad- dition to standard English courses, world literature, journalism, creative writing, and business English are offered. In the sophomore year, students explore the lite rature of many countries. THE PEARL is now included in this study as well as such standard works as SILAS MARNER and JULIUS CAESAR. Junior English is focused on the study of American literature. THE SCARLET LET- TER and THE RISE OF SILAS LAPHAM, re- presentative novels, climax this study. To perfect literary skills, students write both critical and creative papers, the most sig- nificant of which is the short story. In the study of the development of English literature, seniors explore poetry, drama, novels, essays, and short stories. Typical of these are MACBETH and THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE. To prepare for college, students do research for and write a term paper. A new concept of grammar was introduced this year -- the descriptive approach, as opposed to the prescriptive. The new method treats grammar as it is actually used by ed- ucated speakers and writers of today. Journalism trains students in publishing a newspaper and gives them an opportunity to develop their writing skills. World literature is actually a course in world culture because it gives students an opportunity to learn about the religion, art, and music, as well as the literature of specific countries. In creative writing, a course introduced last year for the first time, students learn and practice writing techniques. For those students interested in the more practical aspects of English, a course in bus- iness English is offered. --- Susan McIntyre gives a report on Chinese art to her world literature class. Bev Morgan, Price Heusner, and Susan Prillaman act out a scene from JULIUS CAESAR.
