Sophomores Pcirticipote in New English Progrorn OurEngHshteachersconumnedforcesandrecon- structed the English program this year. When we arrived at school in September, they were ready and waiting with a new approach to English stud- ies. The main revision came at the sophomore level where, to the disappointment of many upperclassmen, we were given the opportunity to test out of grammar in our junior and senior years. Our teachers placed us in classes according to our ability as demonstrated in a diagnostic test, andwemudedgammamomheemhemm semester. At the end of this semester, we took a comprehensive test which, it we made a passing grade,gaveusthepnvHegeofbypas9ngjumor grammar. Also at the sophomore level, we studied American Literature. Although some of the books were rather difficult to read, we did have the opportunity to read such American classics as Huck Finn, The Scarlet Letter, and Moby Dick. At the Junior level, while continuing our study of grammar, we explored the many facets of English Literature. The entire course was divided into two parts, English Literature 1400 to 1800, and Eng- lish Literature 1800 to the present. As Seniors we were given an even greater choice of literature. World, European, and Contemporary Literature were all offered as well as Humanities and Cre- ative Writing. Each literature class gave us a background in various writing styles as we read such novels as Anna Karinia, MacBefh, and I 'm OK, You're OK. If reading didn't appeal to us, we could apply for the Creative Writing staff which wrote, edited, and published this year's anthol- ogy, Amaranth. No matter what our particular interests in the fields of English, there was a class which, hopefully, all of us enjoyed as we attempted to gain a basic understanding of Eng- lish and as our teachers attempted to prepare us forcoHegeandourfunues 26 Faculty I its -t.
