-L English Emphasizes Grammar, Queries Literary Interpretations To be or not to be was a question raised in Shakespeare ' s Hamlet. Films used by the English Department to sup- plement classroom texts and discussions brought out other questions such as, What is man ' s relationship to the uni- verse? , Is man governed by fate, free will or chance? These questions dis- cussed in the films Our Town, Oedipus and The Pearl gave additional interpre- tations to the literary works. Miss Jane Schaefer and Merrill Em- erick experimented with team teaching and with using linguistics as a method of teaching grammar. In using linguis- tics, sentences were placed in one of five basic, or kernel, sentences. Within these sentences, the use of a word was found by looking at the position of it and the stress given to it. Speech, dramatics and journalism were added to the English Department ' s curriculum as semester courses. They stressed basic principles in these fields through individual instruction. Modern literature and world litera- ture were offered to interested seniors. Special trips to see plays were taken by modern literature students to aid their studies. Records, tapes, films and New Hori- zon Lectures on such topics as Huck Finn and the modern short story also supplemented classroom discussions. During English class, Mr. Joseph Dut+on for- mulates an answer to a question. Dut+on: Department Chairman. Anthony: Guidance Counselor, Bonshire: Publications sponsor.
