Unforge ta ble!! English Literature Book, Grammer Books, Books, Books, Books! Any DHS'er will tell you, that in looking back on their years as English students, what stood out most in thier minds was the constant bickering between Mrs. Lay and Mr. Reding, the time consuming books which had to be authored for Miss Murphery, Mac Beth , and the long drawn out grammar section. Unlike other courses offered at DHS, English is the only one that students are required to take for four years. First semester is usually literature The Fall of the House of Usher by Poe, MacBeth by Shakespere, She nf,- 20 '5 ENGLISH 'iv -v Sweeps With Many Colored Brooms by Dickinson, While second semester centers around participles, infinitives, gerunds, periods, and semicolons The seniors took things a step farther, having to go through the torment of writing a term paper. Lighter days included viewing video tapes in literature, free writing, acting out skits, and chanting poems orally. English may be one of the more difficult courses, but it is imperative. So, dot those i's and cross those t's , English is with you to stay. Robin Farmer displayed a piece of artwork she made as a representation of the merchant in Geoffery Chaucer's Canterbury Tales .
