World Literature, also a new course, was designed for the above average student who was seeking a greater understanding about people of other parts of the world. The new Grammar course was designed for the high school student who felt he did not have a proper background in funda- mental grammar, and the Novel course was de- signed to acquaint students with major novelists and their influences on man and his society. Each class chose the novels they studied. New English teachers were also added to FDSH.
