Language Arts lnspires thought The study of American authors was the basis for study in junior English classes. A few of the authors included were Emerson, Holmes, Poe, Twain, Long- fellow, Melville, Bryant, Crane, and Hemingway. Both in the classroom and with outside reading, American literature was covered by study of philoso- phy, narrative writing, poetry, and drama. After meeting the necessary requirements in fresh- man, sophomore, and junior English classes, seniors who wanted to further their studies enrolled in either English composition-4C or English Literature-4L. Offered as a trial class for advanced seniors, Miss Ruth Cunningham directed 25 seniors through the reading of Macbelh, Hamlet, A Passage to India, and writings by Cervantes, Molliere, Tolstoy, Dostoev- sky, and Chekhov. 23 led' .
