An important part of the English depart- ment are the courses of a more special- ized nature, emphasizing a smaller part of this general area. Students interested in the performing arts, develop the tal- ents of speech and drama in these cour- ses. Mr. Holt, in charge of forensics, and Mr. Shaffer, in charge of drama, teach these arts to any student wishing to enroll. From the advanced classes come the members of Franlclin's com- petitive speech teams and the leads for our dramatic productions. Students who have an interest in publications may become members of either the POST or ALMANAC staffs. POST members must have taken a beginning journal- ism course, while ALMANAC mem- bers need only the approval of Mrs. Puckett, the staff advisor. Offered for the first time as a course for credit this year, classes in effective reading pro- vide students to improve their reading skill. These special English courses add great variety to the curriculum at Franklin. Mr. Shaffer Works with a class of advanced drama students. ENGLISH 1 Mr. Holt explains to his class the value of speech in our changing world 28
