FHS English makes a full schedule The English instructors of FHS continued to set high scholastic standards for English students. Realizing the importance placed on an informed and creative student body within recent years, the depart- ment increased its emphasis on a Wide, literary background and on acceptable composition. Beginning in the freshman year, an EHS student learns basic grammar. For the first time he becomes systematically acquainted with the short stories, poetry, plays and novels of a variety oi authors. The student practices elementary critical anaylsis on Charles Dickens' Great Expectations and The Odyssey ot l-lomer. As a sophomore the student continues to work with English gram- mar and to supplement his reading background. Tennyson's ldylls oi the King is the major literary Work studied in the second year. ln the third year of high school, an EHS student begins a rigorous composition course. To coincide with the required American history course, the development of American literature is traced from jeffer- son's Declaration of Independence to the short stories of Hemingway. The senior student concentrates on English literature and advanced composition. He studies contributions of English Writers from Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton to the modern poetry of T. S. Eliot. Outside reading is encouraged: one book report each six Weeks is required. The senior English course is designed especially to prepare college- bound students. Daryl Saldausky becomes Thom- as Iefierson as he delivers the Declaration of Independence before his junior English class. Memorization is required of most juniors throughout the year.
