There are 24 semester courses offered. Of the 24, 10 are required. One semester of grammar and one semester of literature are required for the freshman class. Sophomores are required to take one semester of composition and one of literature. Any other elective they wish to take is permitted as long as they have room in their schedules. The only other course re- quired before graduation is one semester of American literature. There were three main reasons for the change in the de- partment. First it was the trend of English and all the larger schools had taken part, second the department hoped to make the courses more interesting, and the third was to give students a better background on what they had chosen as a field of study. When the department thought about changing the curricu- lum two years ago, they surveyed the students to discover what courses they wanted. Drama I, Speech I and II, mass communications, creative writing, British literature, advanced composition and modern literature are among many of the requests offered. Mrs. Hazel Scales, head of the English department, would like to see more courses with higher degrees of difliculty of- fered in the future. If so, another survey would be scheduled to decide on which courses would be offered. 35
