Minicourses Create Change of Pace ' for English Pupils Mr. Estell ' s English 7g class membe:s take time to work on their own during class. All college-bound seniors study four years of English instead of the required three. Senior English prepares students well for college-level study. Orientation, Histlish, Speech, Etymology, and Humanities make up special classes in Manual ' s well- organized English Department. Reg- ular classes teach English grammar and composition as well as an ap- preciation of literature. New to Manual this year were the Minicourses which provided a break in several regular English classes. Some 550 Manualites par- ticipated in the courses for two weeks after Christmas vacation and then again in May. Students desig- nated choices from a list of pro- posed courses, and each was given his first choice, if possible. Students attended during their regularly as- signed English periods. Some ses- sions included were Folk Stories in Song, Mythology, Black Literature, Drama, Bib ' e, Love in Literature. Manual Manuscripts, published for the eleventh time, contained poetry, essays, and short stories from all grade levels.
