English expands elective program This year the English department continued its inventive approach to the study of the language by adding more elective courses to the curriculum. The purpose of this is to allow the students to learn communication skills through the areas of their own interests. Besides reading courses in the novel, short story, drama, and poetry, students may elect such diverse courses as Basic Communi- cation, Mass Media, The Comic Spirit, Film- making, Indian Folklore, Speech, and Creative Writing. Obviously there is something for every- one. LEFT PAGE ABOVE LEFT: The students seem to gobble up Mrs. Wininger’s teaching techniques before lunch.
