E CLIH English holds an important place in the curriculum at Mount Mercy, since the ability with which one reads, writes and speaks his native language is con- sidered one of the most important factors in the development of a well educated person. Our various English courses help us to build a rich vocabulary, to think independently, to speak distinctly, to use library tools intelligently, to express ourselves through the drama and to appreciate the priceless literary heritage of England and America, with special emphasis upon the glorious tradition of Catholic literature. This group of fourth year English students is dramatizing Everyman, early English morality play. All who are endeav- oring to live a Christian life will encounter experiences similar to those of Everyman. Sister Mary Noel points out to R. Pepe, S, Falkenhagen, A. Metzger, D. Farrell and M. McCarthy of the first year English class the treasures of our American heritage. J. Benoit, C. Collins and C. Cooley, with the help of Sister Mary Peters explanations, are studying Romeo and julie! in third year English. The background display evinces pupil interest. UT LUSH IT Second year English brings J. Markey, G. Sullivan, A, McDonald and A. Roche an introduction to Tennyson and the Victorians through their study of The Idyllf of the King. vwvvvve My itlluua M 7'i! F - . 1'
