FUN parfment As Students Branch Out 'Wu- a D. fx, -6,11 +vffmsrerfef:jygg5i.f i , :- -' 1 ...v- ' The English Department offered a wide variety of courses which allowed the stu- dent a greater choice in subiect areas. Most classes attempted to maintain a bal- ance between writing and literature. Presented as a new elective for the Freshmen, was a drama class which per- formed The Stolen Prince at grade schools the week before Thanksgiving. Also a new addition to the department was a Black Literature course offered sec- ond semester. The main obiective of the class was to explore the background and past cultures of Black society. Practical writing and College Writing, both semester courses, were popular choi- ces of students. These college-prep cours- es were especially beneficial to college bound students.
