Three years of English are required for graduation. A fourth year is elective. The study of grammar, spelling, vocabulary and composition are included in these years. An appreciation of good literature is also emphasized. The juniors concentrate on American literature which often ties in with their study of American History taken at the same time. Senior English consists mainly of the study of English literature. A course in speech is also offered to juniors and seniors. lt gives the students practical experience in oral communica- tion and helps them develop self- confidence in speaking before an audience.

Carol Olgers puts the finishing touches to the Elizabethan dolls she made for her English project. 14 J 3 S..
