P a p e rb a c k books, themes, and s p e e c h e s continually engulfed every conscientious student who tried to meet deadlines and pass his required course in English. During the junior year an emphasis was placed on American literature and in the following year the senior studied the origin and de ve lop me nt of the language itself. The typical junior with notecard in hand could be seen in the library searching for references. Being vigilant so as not to be guilty of plagiarism, he spent many long hours p r e p ar i n g his well-written term paper. Reading vocabulary books, studying David Cooperfield, tracing the growth of the English language, memorizing lines of poetryz . .all were on the agenda that faced the senior as he began English IV. Whether he planned to further his education or begin work at the close of the year and his high school activities, the senior knew he was emerging with a well-rounded background in English- the language, the authors, the literary works, and an appreciation of his her- itage.

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.
