Mrs. Patricia S. Annas A. B. , Lenoir Rhyne English II, III Advisor to: Public Speaking Club English Revealed the Wonder Each year two phases of English, grammar and literature, were studied. Grammar was studied for one semester. During this time students combined their knowledge of sentence structure, para- graph uniformity, and essays in prep- aration for writing term papers. Vocab- ulary was an area stressed by all teach- ers. Students spent many hours inter- pretating and digesting the contents of their booklets. The freshman began with the study of grammar, later advancing into the field of lit e r a tur e. Reading Charles Dicken's Great Expectations and Homer's Oddysey opened new doors of adventure in literature. With e rn p h a s i s on literature, the sophomore was enriched through studies of Shakespeare 's 'li-eg Tragedy Q lulius Caesar and George Eliot's Silas Marner. Many English classes filled hours through public speaking, while others explored the art of creative writing. Miss Gloria Berry B.A. , Lenoir Rhyne English I Mrs. Brenda W. Hood B. S. , Ao S. To C.
