Humanities was all the courses dealing with English and history. The historical side of the coin included the classes world studies Amer- ican studies and government. Economics, values and is- sues, sociology and library science were also an integral part of the humanities pro- gram. These courses were taught by Miss Brenneman, Mrs. Cravern, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Weaver, Mrs. Lynn, and Mrs. Brandon. The English courses which composes the humanities department included comm- unications, world studies En glish, American studies English and college English. The instructors were Mr. Harvey, Mrs. Craven and Mr. Miller. In communications a major goal was to improve the writ- ten and spoken communications of the students. In world studies the literary back- ground of many different cultures was studied, while American studies delt with great written works produced by authors in the New World. College English was a pre- paratory course for CoUege- Ijound students in which the main considerations were on writing and on improving composition skills. Each student was- required to complete eight book critiques and deliver a formal (?) pre- sentation in front of class dealing with mythology. He ' ll get mad at us if we do that! Working in pairs seemed to make the work easier in Mr. Harvey ' s English class. Dave Holmes and Wesley Drudge use their time wisely. Teachers Go Back to the 50 ' s. 82 Humanities
