xpand tudent Interest and Knowledge This year the English Depart- ment familiarized students with literature, writing, and speaking. In sophomore classes, students studied English literature for a se- mester and spent the second se- mester mastering the lively art of speaking. Juniors, on general and aca- demic curriculums, explored the evolvement of American litera- ture through the decades. Making movies, performing plays, and writing research papers helped seniors to expand their knowledge of English. A one-semester composition class was offered for those who wished to improve their writing skills. Upper right-English assignments sometimes got a little com- plicated, as sophomore Greg Jones discovered. Here, he lis- tens attentively as Mrs. Howlett explains the exercise just one more time. Mrs. McCoy, during her three year stay at CHS, taught both general and academic English classes and instituted a one- semester composition course. Unfortunately, at the com- pletion of this year's first six weeks grading period, Mrs. Mc- Coy retired due to poor health.
