1 t Touch of Arts Liberal Arts classes acquire new insights. Even though English might not have been your favorite class this year, it was probably the most important, junior Cindy Godfrey summed it up by saying, English is important because your whole lite evolves around communicat- ing, understanding, and expressing your feelings, emotions, and thoughts and the only way to accomplish this is to learn the language. Freshmen and sophomores stick main- ly to grammar while juniors and seniors stress reading and writing — including everyone ' s favorite, the RESEARCH PAPER! Jennifer Kowalik, junior, points out that although I do not understand the urgency of studying Mythology and Shakespeare for later life, I rhink the English department has done best by stressing the importance of good writing skills. Students have different reasons for lik- ing and disliking their English, but most agreed that it the teacher had a good sense ot humor, the class seemed to be more enjoyable. Senior Chris Washburn commented on his favorite English teach- er, Mrs. Guerrero by saying she was hilarious and made class more interest- ing. (]indy Godfrey, junior, expressed her feelings for Ms. Sager. She said, I never had so much fun in a class and actually learned something at the same time. Since English was the only class which was required all four years, it was one class we must have tolerated, if not en- joyed. Tina North, junior, believes Four years of English is required to ensure that the students will be able to function well in our society after graduation.
