Our English Depart- ment trains the student to master the mechanics of the language and to write with clarity and meaning. Shakespearean drama and comparison of classic and modern novels compose the bulk of sophomore English. In addition to an intensive grammar review, classes also examine poetic development and technique. The fol lowing year, juniors undertake interpretive analysis of American literary works from 1850 to the present. Parallel reading and poetry, novels and plays comprise the rest of the year ' s work. Both John Whitty, performer in a Carolina Playmaker ' s p ro d u c t i o n, and author Frances Gray Patton spoke to the classes. Senior English emphasizes the development of English literature from the time of Beowulf to the twentieth century. Seniors also work extensively with precis writing and structural linguistics as well as with the British short story, essay, and poetry. Climaxing this year is a term paper on an approved subject. Junior English students under Mrs. Cohen discuss the characteristics of America ' s western short story. 20
