Vciried English electives promise wide background With over twelve English electives from which to choose, it was no wonder that students responded with such enthusiasm to the course offerings. The classes, which were either for a single semester or two, ranged from British Authors to Drama to Journalism. A new addition to the English department this year was the introduction of American Authors 1 and ll, a two semester course which was formerly one semester. Because of the expansion, students were able to study American literature in more 'depth through four texts and five novels, including Hemingway. Yet, even though so much was happening in class, students took time to attend field trips and participate in assemblies which contributed to their already deepened appreciation of English. Returning to Marian after a year,s absence, Sr. Letitia 0'Connell ftopj instructs a variety of courses including Creative Writing and film. Chairman of the English department, Sr. Noeleta O'Dea fabovej brings many resources to her pupils. 39
