Innovations Run Rampant in English Department Since all Seaholm students are required to take English every year, it is the largest of Seaholm's depart- ments and thus the most susceptible to the many inno- vations which are sweeping the field. After Flex scoops many English students out of the basic tracts, those left face three distinctly different years. The sophomores face a review of Syntax and basic theme writing, as well as the study of the short story. Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is also studied to an extent. One class presented parts from this play as part of their study. Sophomores basically deal with world literature. The juniors this year were beset with innovations. The SOLE f Student Oriented Learning Experiencel program tried an approach to teaching English that is practically new to Seaholm. This program combined the talents of Mrs. Guith, Mrs. Rafferty, and Mrs. McLeod. The SOLE program offered many units and electives, 136 centered around the novel, the short story and other areas of student interest. The American Studies pro- gram collected those not in SOLE and experimented in teaching Social Studies and English back to back. Ameri- can Literature is the basic area of junior study and this program emphasized the relationship between history and literature. A few standard junior classes were or- ganized, which worked with F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Seniors, mostly working in college prep type courses, basically studied English Literature. They all wrote rather complex themes and had a great deal of outside reading to get through. In addition to all this, in preparation for college, most all seniors are required to write a term paper sometime during the year. This results in Seaholm seniors populating the library almost year round.
