English Department Adds Three New Courses The English Department is expanding its wide area of study. Elective courses in Poetry, Literature of the Bible, and English Skills have been added to the English courses. The English program is moving more and more toward a wider elective program. Each year we are increasing greatly in the number of elective courses. The courses capitalize on the skills of each teacher. A variety of English courses may be chosen in place of the usual fourth year English course. This elective program is offered only to the seniors. In making thorough studies of the program, they are hoping to improve it. In the future they are hoping to offer this program to the juniors. The Drama Department helped students broaden their ideas of the theater by giving full productions. Again this year they put on an outstanding production of The Crucible 7 Mrs. Ruth Alcorn Mrs. Alice Allen Mr. Lloyd Carothers Mr. Jomes Conover Mr Ernest Cowan Mrs. Betty Foster Mr. David Freitag Mr. Jack Gilliland Mrs. Opal Hamilton 18
