Literary Courses Give Added Knowledge English students at Markleville have learned that themes and term papers are not easy to write. They have also learned correct English pronunciation, punc- tuation, and spelling. All of the English courses contained one semester of literature and one of grammar. The students, in this way, were able to develop their personal usage as well as gaining a knowledge of important literary works. Many of the students found out how to compose a term paper. Most of the juniors did their first term paper, while the more experienced seniors prepared for college work. The Sophomore Class listens while facts and explanations are given. While discussing current literature, Mrs. Simmermon gives important facts. A last minute check is given to homework by the seniors. An example of proper grammar is given by Mrs. Strick- land.
