Diagnostic Correction Lab develops vocabularies Underclassmen composed themes, acted in dramas, and researched term papers. Meanwhile, seniors studied Greek tragedies, discussed 20th cen- tury poetry, and read old world lit- erature as part of the English depart- ment curriculum. The English Department adjusted its curriculum to present material evolving out of students ' needs and to generate interest for all students. Making the study of English more interesting proved to be worthwhile, because students learned to apply themselves to understanding English literature. The English Department featured a newly devised Diagnostic Correc- tion Lab opened to all students in- terested in developing their reading vocabularies. Four of Miss Little ' s senior English class have questions about the literature that they are read- ing and want to know her opinion on the subjects of controversy. Senior Bonnie Studebaker shows Becky Walker where to read as the class reads the drama Marty aloud. Reading a drama like this helps the student to develop his readmg ability. English 21
