ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HAS ACTIVE YEAR ■ Mr. Charles Anderson Chairman Mr. Joseph Bigham Mr. Allen Berg The English Department has played an important role in every student's academic program. It has also made great progress in rounding out the student by introducing literary achievements in areas other than books. Full-length movies have found a part in our curriculum. Citizen Kane, Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Mouse That Roared, O'Henry's Full House, Great Expectations, Johnny Tremain, and Raisin In the Sun were viewed by the Longwood student audiences. Field trips this year have been numerous. On the trips to New York City, students saw Barefoot In the Park, Fiddler On the Roof, Romeo and Juliet (presented by the Old Vic Repertory Company), and the Andrew Wyeth Show at the Whitney Museum. You Can’t Take It With You was seen at a neighboring high school. The students who took part in the annual trip to the Shakespearean Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, saw Midsummer Night's Dream. The Emerald Eye has been issued monthly, and Horizons has now been increased to two issues yearly. Electives in drama, journalism, and cinematography for twelfth year students are being planned.
