Max Darnielle Senior English student ' s intently view the Oedipus training films, which supplement their class study of this literary work. Thirty separate plans and texts are used by the English Department to offer every student a course to accommodate his abilities, needs, and post-school plans. This extensive program demands the largest number of faculty members, twenty-three. Advanced placement classes are set up on all three grade levels. Literature is a vital part of English in high school. By discarding conventional hard-back literatiue an- thologies and adopting a paper-back study progTam, CHS students are exposed to a wider variety of lit- erature styles, authors, and subject matter. More than 150 books are involved including novels, poetry, tragedies, essays and plays by authors ranging from Shakespeare to Steinbeck. With large selections of study material, and flexibility of requirements, each teacher is able to choose the literatine most valuable to individual classes. In addition to the required English courses, mo- dem literature and speech are regularly offered plus a drama class in the second semester. A bus trip to Bloomington took seniors to see Macbeth presented at Indiana University. Guest lecturers from various universities embellish studies with new ideas. Absorbed in The Pearl, a book read by sophomore English classes, Debby Cortner and Rachel Lawson enjoy Steinbeck ' s symbolism. 28
