E I Mrs. Corder Composition Program Emphasized Blairis English Department taught far more than basic skills and the fundamentals of grammar. Stu- dents learned to appreciate famous authors and their works. Poetry, novels and plays were read and dis- cussed in class, and students wrote frequent reports on these works. Structured composition, a new trend in high school writing, was stressed in the program. Students wrote compositions, putting into practice the rules which they had learned. For some purposes creative writing also was encouraged, and teachers unselfishly worked beside interested students. During the 1961-1962 school year, a new team-teaching pro- gram, American Civilization, was introduced to jun- iors. This class lasted two periods a day and combined the talents ofsix English and history teachers. STUDYING THE derivation of vocabulary words, Mike Gordon prepares for his test. , - f: 1syi?er,.
