ENGLISH DEPARTMENT At Murphy, the study of the English language is considered most important; therefore each student is required to take three years of English. The basic courses of English include instruction in the fundamentals of grammar, plus a background in literature. Seniors may also take creative writing or world literature. Creative writing is designed to stimulate the student’s imagination in such varied forms of writing as poems, short stories, and themes. These two courses are principally intended to lend a cultural as well as educational air to Murphy. MISS LUCILLE RHODES MISS EDNA OLSON MRS. GLENDA JORDAN MRS.

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Ihree foreign languages arc offered Murphy students who are interested in this type of study. Four years of Latin are offered, and after two years, the student is eligible for membership in the Latin Club. Spanish is offered for four years, and French is available for three years. There are clubs for students of these three subjects as well.
