MRS. BE'I'l'E'JOI-INSON Library, Library Club odern Program Stimulates English Complete revamping of the English department this year aimed students towards a fuller knowledge and a better appreciation of the language of their country. The new program was designed also to pro- vide the necessary challenge for every student. This was accomplished by a significant change which di- vided students into three major sections for English classes. Programmed learning in grammar was made use of in groups two and three. By this method, stu- dents were enabled to work independently and therefore to progress at their own rate of speed. All English students participated in a summer reading program. They read assigned novels, not only during the summer, but also during the school year. The books ranged from Pride and Prejudice to A Separate Peace. Class discussions followed the readings to promote a fuller understanding of the material. New text books for literature and grammar supplied an additional impetus for the study of Eng- lish. The Scott, Foresman America Reads and the Galaxy series were both used for the first time this year. Mrs. Sharon Ward joined the team of English instructors. MRS.
