Senior English Course The Advanced Placement linglish course was ll transi- tion between the academic linglish activities of superior high school students and the beginning college linglish program. The course was open to superior senior stu- dents only. Journalism was an introductory course to the mass media and to newswriting. The students were taught to review the mass media and their place in a free so- ciety. Editorial writing, feature writing, column wri- ting, and radio and television script writing were stress- ed. Also included was a unit on elementary news photo- graphy. Every student at Ml-IS had the opportunity to enroll in a Literature course pertaining to his class. The fresh- man Literature course was designed to foster the ap- preciation of literature through an understanding of basic literature types and motifs as they were developed by great cultures of the world, both classics and modern. A survey of experiences in all literature types was a desirable goal. Dramatics was a basic introduction to a history of the theater through the ages up to modern times. The student learned how to handle himself in the portrayal of several characters within one play and the methods and practices of stage acting. A, .. xi S! I LX PXYEI.
