unior Charles Clairhorne hears an English leo. Deep in thought, lunior Skip McGee :rams for a test during his English class. Never at a loss for words, junior and senior English students wrote compositions and explored almost every nook and cranny of American and Western literature. Worksheets, visual aids and class discussions helped pass the time from test date to test date. luniors studied the many facets of American literature ranging from Nathaniel Hawthorne's, The Scarlet Letter to Walt Whitman's, Leaves of Grass. Worksheets kept students informed and helped them prepare for the inevitable tests. Mark Twain's, Huckleberry Finn was a source of comic relief from the hectic English schedule. Preparation for college led to Vocabulary for the College Bound Student.

Students new found knowledge of bigger and better words helped them in their quest to write A research papers on the novel and author of their choice. Students had earned many privileges by the time English IV rolled around. They were given the option of taking a standard English course or quarter long courses that included Comparative Novels, Grammar and Creative Writing. The individual English courses provided a change from the routine of the first three years of English. Those interested in reading and analyzing literature took Comparative Novels. Students boned up on reading and by the time the quarter had ended they were considerably more well read than when it had begun. Adverbial clauses and prepositional phrases were defined time and time again by seniors who took grammar. Besides enabling them to speak and write grammatically correct, the course was an ideal tool for college admission tests. Creative Writing gave fourth year English students a constructive outlet for expressing their emotions. Students wrote short stories and kept a journal as a part of the course and learned to write with flair. The standard English course concentrated mainly on Western Literature. Dante's Inferno left students with a new theory on Heaven and Hell. William Shakespeare appeared again, only this time with Hamlet and Macbeth. Puppets act ou! Danlefs Inferno for a senior English class. ENGLISH -169
