pv- 4 I f.:z.Ls..-'Hx 4 ---r--K' Frosh.lSoph. Language Arts Composition skills, literature emphasised by lower classmen Miss Catherine Bennett, a new English teacher, taught freshmen that 'success is possible with high standards. As a new approach some freshman classes emphasized literature, but all dealt mainly with gram- mar and writing skills. Sophomores had a more indepth study of writing and literature. Students responded well, although at first freshmen were not accustomed to the higher reading level. Vocabulary was also considered important by soph- omore teacher, Miss Frances Turner. Mrs. June McKinstry, also a sophomore teacher, felt that students learned more and responded better to independent study. Freshman classes read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Sophomore classes read Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Animal Farm by George Orwell. and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery. The old and new approaches better prepared fresh- men and sophomores for junior and senior English.
