Again this year, the combined classes were separated, due to the back-to-back scheduling of physical education and social studies. Mr. Davis explained that other schools have stopped combining the two courses. C63 159 Academics 25

ll? Department Offers New, Traditional Approaches English Continued refinement of Franklin's electives program brought elimination of several English course offerings. Students could choose from among many semester courses, but year-long courses were offered for those who desired a more traditional approach to English. ln these sections, emphasis was placed on both literature and compositiong the classics were featured, as were popular new books such as DON'T PLAY DEAD BEFORE YOU HAVE TO. ln November, several performers from the Oregon Shakespearean Festival at Ashland visited Franklin's drama and speech classes. Mr. Michael Hibbard, speech teacher, hoped to organize a forensics team to compete with other schools at tournaments, while Thespians, sponsored by Mr. Brian Biggs, made plans for a trip to Ashland in the spring.
