Literature Reveals Individual Thought From freshmen studying grammar to seniors analyzing Shakespeare s Macbetll, Liberty students worked to master their own language. Novels were a big thing this year as most English students explored such classics as The Tale of Tico Cities, Les .iliserablesg Tlze Scarlet Letter. and Pride and Prejudice. Students in English III and IV put on small productions from scenes of The Scarlet Letter and Macbeth to stimulate interest by class activities. Senior students enrolled in English IV were prepared for their college entrance exams by taking sample Subject A exams. World Literature classes poured over global authors from Homer to Dostoevsky. Selections from the literature of many countries helped students to understand other people and their cultures. This year the English Department welcomed back Mr. Oliver Bascom, from his sabbatical leave, and introduced four new teachers: Mrs. Betty Aaland, Mrs. Tarney Baldinger, Miss Virginia Diehl and Miss Karen McLellan.

With a book which consisted only of pictures and a record which was recorded only in French, students learned French, a new language course at Liberty. Latin and Spanish were again offered as foreign languages. Latin familiarized students with classical and mythical studies as well as gram- mar usa e. Others continued to learn the lan- guage o our neighbors to the South, Spanish, which helps to lay a foundation for better international understanding. I7 7
