Foreman, Frederick Keller, Nelson, Evoldo JUNIOR HIGH ENGLISH A strict pattern of developing a comprehension of literature and the proper usage of our language was formulated by Miss Giovannini, Mrs. DiCerbo, Mr. Magnifico, Mr. Oliastro and Mrs. LaRitz. This department offered a generous amount of variety in the way they presented such basic essentials as Word definition, spelling, grammar and pronunciation. Under their supervision and guidance, these principles were carried out in an effective fashion along with a sense of humor which was appreciated by the students. Equally important to the establishment of a complete education is an understanding of the fine works of world literature. These master- pieces presented a broad appreciation of literature which enabled students to face future English courses with insured stability and confidence. With this purpose in mind, one of the most suitable of the litera1'y works, Treasure Island, was chosen. This venture initiated their first major study of literature. This department produced a pattern of study, resulting in the attainment of the funda- mentals that are necessary for a sound English foundation. 20

SENIOR HIGH ENGLISH In a more intense study, senior high students enjoyed a pattern of grammatical rules and world literature which carried them farther into the realm of adulthood. Under the supervision of Mr. Brown and Mr. Taylor, Sophomores experienced a radical change in the pattern of their work, which was brought to a close by Shakespf-are's world-famous Julius Caesarf' WCll-kHOIN'll works of American literature occupied most of the Junior's year. The House of Seven Cables, along with the Shakespearian masterpiece, Hamlet,', as presented by Mrs. McKinney and Mr. Latimer, will remain a vivid high school memory in the minds ofthe students. A general review of knowledge in English was undertaken by Seniors. The study of vocabulary, spelling and grammar as taught hy Miss Cresswell and Miss Douglass completed the English requirement. Highlights of the year included the study of their third Shakespearian work, Macbeth, and original literary attempts in the form of poems and essays, which were submitted for national judging competition.
