L k Ulllliixg bf Ei29't Mini-cours es enliven English Ungraded mini-courses, held the last three weeks of school, were initi- ated to strengthen pupils' knowledge of different styles of literature. Each student was allowed a choice. Sophomores learned and reviewed grammar. Written book reports, as well as themes or term papers, were a requirement. Vocabulary tests kept recurring in all junior literature classes. Students read a variety of plays, ranging from Ron Cowan's Summertree to Robert Anderson's I Never Sang for My Pa- ther. Filmstrips, accompanied by rec- ords, were enjoyed by pupils, who I asked for a repeat of the one on f Thoreau. I Juniors in Mr. Wilbanks' classes . constructed a collage portraying a short story they had read. They also became salesmen, giving sales pitch- es to fellow students. Mrs. Cuckien strove for more em- phasis on modern literature: I feel there's a need, a great need, today for f modern literature in our classrooms.

Communication is emphasized in advanced classes Yi pw 1 Qt f t if S I l H I Sleepy-eyed seniors gave evidence of Mr. Weaver's test days. In order to gain more knowledge of a particular period, students did outside readings, reporting back to the class. A theme a week, or at least one writing a week, became the custom in English X. Students either developed their writing or became familiar with English authors and their works. Mrs. Koch, the new speech teacher, stated the goals of Speech I and radio and television: To be at ease with words, to understand how speech in- fluences our lives, and to be fluent in making our thoughts and ideas verbal. Drama class centered around knowledge of the theatre. Besides working on the Thespian play, stu- dents attended productions in and around the community.
