The nine- teen members evaluated the present pro- gram, discussed ideas for new courses and studied innovative teaching methods. A summer workshop brought six members of the department together to give special attention to Cu level courses, to practical and to fundamental English and to basic composition. One-semester English electives open to Juniors and Seniors include advanced composition, creative writing, ethnic litera- ture, twentieth century novel, mythology and Shakespeare. The creative writing class in its second year, evolved much. It expanded to in- clude both an in-depth analysis of authors' style as well as to produce original student work. Dropped from the elective curriculum were the accelerated reading and independent study programs. These were replaced by an added emphasis on reading skills in all English classes. SPEECH STUDENTS STRIVE for eloquence and articulation as shown by Debbie Griffith.
