English Offers Variety If Shakespeare could see us now, would he smile from one end of his moustache to the other, or would he turn over in his grave? If the answer is the latter, then the N.D.A. English department is out to attack, tackle and eliminate that situation! Many times, after fourteen or more years of doily ex- posure to the English language, girls find that they have definitely not mastered it. Freshmen started out their high school years with grammar, usage, puncuation, literature and vocabulary so the diverse backgrounds of their post eight years might become more unified. In sophomore year, the girls continued with the same activities, branching out into more difficult writing and literary readings. During junior and senior years, the students received the privilege to choose electives of general writing courses, research, novel, poem, drama and epic, creative writing, world literature, individualized reading and great books. 1 Terry Scaizo conducts a demonstration on the overhead. 2 Fresh Sue Gerken and Julie Bruns enthusiastically volunteer an answer. 3.
