Students produce plays “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,” famous words of Macbeth, aptly describe tlie endless planning done by the English De¬ partment to offer students e ' ery opportunity in this field of study. Along with the four years of required English, students were able to take courses in public speaking, journalism, drama, and creative writing. Within the department, close co-operation of faculty and sharing of ideas and techniques all contributed to departmental progress. As an added strengtli, English teachers taught only four classes daily, gi ing these instructors more time for planning and improving courses. Gen¬ erally speaking, teachers of the English Depart¬ ment taught only English or closely related sub¬ jects; thus their lesson plans were concentrated in one main area. A special teacher, Mr. Ber¬ nard, instructed remedial reading twice a week for ninth and tenth graders. Student interest was aroused by participation in essay contests and debates. By attending plays dramatized at Catholic University, the stu¬ dents were able to profit in one or more ways to better their background outside the classroom.

Sociology students heard tapes about brainwashing and divorce, and learned about alcoholism from a talk by Dr. Doris Wood¬ ward in March.
