FOOTPRINTS ♦ - ♦ Co urses of Study The ordinary student enters high school with no definite idea of what his life work is to be. During the first two years he follows a definite course, outlined by the faculty. Then, after completing these two years, he should have decided on the course he wishes to pursue and chooses his subjects accordingly. For graduation, 16 units are required. English and Literature Department The two principal aims of an English course in high school are first, to acquire more skill in reading ability, and secondly, to improve the use of correct and enlarged expression. 1 he latter aim is a continuation of the work carried on in the grades in a more advanced and detailed manner in the freshman class. An appreciation of literature is mstilled by the study of “Silas Marner”, “Idylls of the King , and “Ivanhoe . I he sophomore course consists of the application of the gramatical principles into practical use, tech- nically called Rhetoric. “ Three Narrative Poems”, “The Merchant of enice , and “A lale of 1 wo Cities” are studied during this year with the added appreciation for proper rhetoric. Although the first aim has already been touched upon in the fresh- men and sophomore courses, increased emphasis is placed upon this phase of English during the Junior and Senior years, plus a brief sum- 111 iry of gram n ir review. American and English Literature are studied alternately and the pupils are given the choice of each or both. Each course includes the study of the prominent authors, their lives, works and the period in which they wrote. These courses cover vari- ous types of writings such as poetry, dramas, essays, oratory, fiction, biography and short story. Thus we expect that any student who has completed either the three or four year’s work in English should be properly qualified to take his place in society or continue his endeavors in institutions of higher learning. Social Sc iences Our social studies courses are divided into four main divisions. Our Freshmen start with Ancient and Medieval History. This is the story of man’s achievements in the past and is both fascinating and beneficial. Both ancient and medieval history afford ample opportun- ity for students not only to learn to respect and honor ancient peoples for their discoveries, but also to make some of the lessons learned bv them their own. 1 he Sophomores in Modern History study the old world with the Page Seven
