PLOT The plot is undoubtedly the most essential part of a novel. Likewise, academics is the most important part of high school, and academics was truly the plot in which the characters of The New Elmhurst involved themselves. Although students did not limit themselves to studying only, they realized that their scholastic work was the key to becoming a more intelligent person, and that the knowledge which they gained would assist them in reaching the goals which they had set. Each Trojan accepted the fact that success which he hoped for would be obtained simply by hard work and perseverance. Elmhurst offered an extensive curriculum to prepare its students for the future, and new facilities made learning easier and more enjoyable. Physics and chem- istry pursuers had access to beautifully equipped labo- ratories. Girls interested in home economics learned the fundamentals of cooking and sewing amidst shiny new cabinets and appliances. Vocalists found that their tones sounded much more pleasing in the fresh choir room. The enlargement of the school library furnished a storehouse of knowledge which was readily available. With the opportunities which Elmhurst offered, the out- come of the plot of Trojan students was decided by only one person, the student himself.

American, English, and modern world literature, plus English is the sole means of communication of our nation. Thus, success may depend largely upon our unde rstanding and knowledge of the English language. In order to give the students this necessary amount of learning, Elmhurst English classes covered a variety of im- portant areas. Diagramming sentences aided underclassmen in familiarizing themselves with the parts of speech. To help students express their written work better, the proper struc- ture of paragraphs was studied. The key to interesting writ- ing and speaking is a large vocabulary, and Trojans were re- quired to learn correct spelling, pronunciation, and defini- tion of many words in order to insure a more intensive vo- cabulary. Literature was also stressed as a significant aspect of the English curriculum. Sophomores studied American literature and read such works as Thornton Wilder ' s drama Our Town. Concentrating on English literature juniors made a thorough analysis of Shakespeare ' s Macbeth. Seniors centered their at- tention on the study of modern literature and comparative dramas. Il 1 .
