Mary Hudspeth, Judy MacDonald Alice Scott, Karen Sharp Four years of English are inevitable for every Durant High student. Throughout his years here each student gains an accumulation of skills and knowledge having to do with English--grammatically and literarily. Freshmen and sophomores are drilled in the mechanics of English and are introduced to literature and its phases. Juniors are given a complete year of American litera- ture from colonial days to the present. In addition, they are required to prepare term paper. Seniors are given a choice of English programs, college prep or practical. Under Miss Scott the college prep stu- dents prepare term papers, practice various writing skills, study English literature, and take frequent spelling tests. The practical English students are given the opportunity to learn about various aspects of worldwide literature--poetry, short stories, and advertising begin a few. Speech was a new subject this year. The sophomores were required to take it as a first year course, while others were put into the advanced speech course. Among the ac- tivities were directing play scenes, interpretive reading, writing speeches, and studying radio and T-V.
