Students in English Classes Aim Hig PATSY WHITAKER, Lee Foster, and Nancy Riddle try to follow Beniamin Franklin's approach for becoming well-rounded individuals by filling in their class temperance chart. Always striving to incorporate more advanced teaching methods, Central now offers three levels of English classes-standard, accelerated, and ad- vanced placement. Each student is placed on a level according to his ability to work. While the standard classes learn the basic fundamentals and try to improve their literary style, the accelerated classes probe more deeply into background and unwritten meanings of literary compositions. The advanced placement classes work on college level -writing papers and discussing their work in minute detail. -In addition to reports and projects on different works covered in class, newly purchased class- room proiectors enable students to see such out- standing films as Encyclopedia Britannica produc- tions of Macbeth, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Our Town. Copying machines and overhead proiectors are now popular in English classes and are rapidly tak- ing the place of mimeographed sheets and the standard blackboard. Students learn to operate these machines and use them to discuss with the class their own work. Records and record players are being used more and more to play selections from various literary works. These new machines help make classes more interesting, and students look forward to attending the classes because of the varieties of techniques being used. PUNCTUATION is merely an aid to clear reading, as demonstrated by freshmen Dee Zangwill and Michael Strawn. No. Page 30
