English Department Claims NCTE Winner Miss Moore points out to her class various char- acters from the novels of Charles Dickens. English teachers often encourage students to read aloud both in unison and individually. Oral reading promotes correct pronunciation and good grammer. The department places emphasis on writing, too. In the three years at Murphy, a student is taught practical usage of grammer along with the informa- tive and exciting course of literature. Authors rang- ing from the ancient Creek Homer to the contem- porary John Steinbeck are studied. World litera- ture, creative writing, dramatics, and speech are elective courses which the English department of- fers to the student who aspires to obtain a better foundation in English. MRS.
