ENGLISH This year the English Department has added a new re¬ quirement which makes this language art more interesting for teachers and students alike. Public Speaking is no long¬ er a separate class on the senior’s curriculum. Since Miss Shine has retired, it is now included as part of the English class. One class per week is now devoted to teaching stu¬ dents the various facets of speaking in front of people. New semester courses in English have also been added. Among these are classes in Sports, Edgar Allan Poe, Sci¬ ence Fiction, and Reading Odyssey. Seniors who find these courses more interesting than a regular English course have the choice of taking any of them. Besides these half-semes¬ ter courses, our English Department also supplies us with honors, standard, academic, and basic English courses. The English Department is trying its best to help students pre¬ pare themselves for any career after high school. Julia McCarthy Radcliffe College A.B. Fitchburg State College M.Ed.
