Language Grtf offer ehallenge Marshall's English Department offers as much diversity as any school in the state, far more than in the city, according to Lyle Meyer, head of the department. The six comp courses offered at Marshall covered topics ranging from basic sentence structure to advanced composi- tion. This provided choices for students according to their capabilities and capacity to learn. One of the major events for Comp 5 students was the annual Macbeth Bowl. This required much memorization on the part of all students participating. Suzy Messing, captain of the victorious Fatal Bellmen, stated, The Macbeth Bowl makes Shakespeare more interesting and appreciable. For students interested in theater, Drama classes were designed to teach the fundamentals of acting and to broaden performing skills. The elective courses also provided variety to satisfy the interests of all students. This included Effective Reading, Pro- fessional English, Speech, and Journalism. In addition, there were also the Publications and Photo Staff courses in charge of the newspaper and yearbook. 9?-Q t l fri? 60 ' EngIishfDrama if an amps' LISTENING INTENTLY to his Comp 5 class is Englis teacher Jim Hanna.
