English, the largest department at Jeffer- son has this year added a Pilot Study to the curriculum for the sophomores. World Litera- ture is the basis for the reading, and speech and composition are emphasized to help the student to become more articulate in the use of his language. For the second year, the English depart- ment sponsored the Fine Arts Festival in February. This consisted of a week of as- semblies on the various phases of music, art, drama and English. English department faculty members were also advisors for our three school publica- tions. All of our English teachers emphasized composition, literature, and word usage. Senior themes climaxed our English careers in high school. E h Mrs. Ruth J. Staton Mr. S.
