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.

Unique groups promote looming Research Scholars was a group of students who desired a more academic approach in their classes. This program com- pleted its third year at Marshall and consisted of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. The students were recommended by their eighth grade teachers to be involved in this program which placed them in more advanced English, math, and science classes. Because this was a special program, the students were already pre-scheduled and weren't required to go through arena scheduling. These students were also given opportuni- ties to attend various workshops which were designed to aid them in their studies. Junior Jenny Megyesi summed it up by saying, i'Research Scholars is a tough program, but anyone who is determined and wants to learn could handle it. A change occurred in the Freshmen Humanities Depart- ment as freshmen were required to take a Global Studies class. I think itis very important to talk about the United States and us as a part to see where we fit in, commented Freshmen Humanities Instructor Pat Baars. The class of '83 was also the first class required to take competency tests in order to graduate from high school. These tests included basic math and word usage skills to prove that there was something learned in high school. s- Ep si Nr 1 i 'ii W 'i:'i' ,Q - ' ' . ' .. .--' - ....
