Freshmen assimilated correct grammar, Sophomores discovered Tol¬ stoy, Juniors tackled term papers and Seniors conquered Shakespeare—all under the guidance of the English De¬ partment. Eighteen members of the Advanced Placement class sought college credit by participating in an intensive study of selected works from world literature. These students could be recognized by the numerous anthologies which were their constant companions. Supplementing the regular English courses this year was a new paperback series, the Laureate Editions, which were used on all grade levels. A television set, to be used for educational programs, and an overhead projector were part of the equipment purchased to improve teaching methods. Two new teachers, Mrs. Harriet Hemby and Miss Joan Bourdeau brought the departmental membership to a total of twelve, to make it the largest department in the school. Miss Harris directs students in after-school activities. Miss Betsy Harris English II, Ill Miss Gary Maupin English IV; Yearhook Page 22
