Margaret M. Horner Radcliffe, A.B. Suffolk, M.A. in Ed. Head of English Department English 4 Yearbook Public Relations English This year we’ve taken the boredom out of English at Lawrence High. No matter what your literary likes and dislikes may be, you can probably find an English course suited to your exact specifications. For those who are tired of the old familiar ' grammar rules and vocabulary lists, our ever-resourceful English Department has established a wide variety of new courses; courses which range in subject material from conservative poetry to controversial best-sellers. Books such as CATCH-22 and THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN have taken their place in the classroom along¬ side the more classical works of Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy. This is not to say that grammar and vocabulary have been forgotten. On the contrary, they are included in every regular English class, and those who wish to con¬ centrate more on these areas may take the new Prepara¬ tion for College Boards” course, which offers intensive drill on the verbal skills required in the SAT’s.
