Mini-Courses In his teaching of Black Literature. Paul Yuhas presents several actual accounts of the cruelty inflicted upon the slave during the 1800's. Add Black Lit. In its second year of operation, the English mini-course program initiated several new classes to give students more freedom in selection of courses. Among the new courses presented this year were Detective Fiction, Values Clarification, and Individualized Reading. Designed to make stu- dents stop and think about what our society has done to the black man, the new Black Literature course brought to the attention of many individuals some preju- dices that they were unaware of. Some materials used in this course consisted of the book Autobiog- raphy of Miss Jane Pittman, and records dealing with slavery in which slaves themselves recalled past experiences.

As in the past, senior students were placed in a work program so as to gain knowledge through on-the-job training.
