Miss Margaret P. Kessinger Department Chairman WYVHONIG WWHONIS Mrs. Ruth Pence ONIdWIOND WYHONIG Mrs. Linda L. Fanske ENGLISH The Generation Gap - Black Literature - Medi- eval Art - Literature of Dissent - 2001 - Shakespeare . Variety and selection have been uppermost in the English Department this year. The elective program has been expanded. In addition to juniors and seniors selecting courses each nine weeks, both freshmen and sophomores, have been able to choose their units. The American Civilization course for juniors and the English - Government course for seniors have been continued; the World Civilization, previously offered only for tenth graders, now includes a two-year course for ninth and tenth graders. In this course, four teachers, from English, History, Art, and Music, work together with a group of students interested in cultural and historical development of the world. New ideas and new programs function - but not without their tolls . . . hours of work, physical] exhaustion, not to mention a few ‘‘near-nervous breakdowns.” The department has had a busy but interesting year. The students have read, written, and discussed; ideas have been ex- plored, bantered, and absorbed. The result, we hope, has been Education. Many things are happening in schools today, and English is certainly part of ‘‘the Happening.” Mrs. Shirley Avis YaHIN Sessisttts Mrs. Sandra D.
