Here, students have the opportunity to express themselves through the various forms of the communicative arts, particularly the drama. In the reading course all students are afforded the chance to increase their basic reading skills through the use of modern machinery and other learning materials. Special treatment is given to the study of Shakespeare’s works on each level, including Julius Caesar on the tenth grade, Romeo and Juliet on the eleventh grade, and climaxing with Macbeth and Hamlet on the twelfth grade.

English ... Appreciation Excitement. Emil Sanzari English Department Chairman Beverly Barbour English Literary Workshop idyller Robert Boyce English Delphian Lenore Cohen English English Tri-Hi-Y Ruby Bishar English Color Guard To foster an unfading appreciation for language and literature is the goal of the English department under the direction of Mr. E. Sanzari. In order to achieve this, the English curriculum has been planned on a tripartite basis with specific emphases on each level. In the sophomore program, the stress is placed upon word study, creative writing, and the main genres of literature: the short story, the novel, the poem, and the play. In the junior year, the formal study of our literary back¬ ground from colonial times to the present is taught. In the senior discipline, the beginnings of our literary heritage from the British Isles are presented, starting with Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales and coming to the con¬ temporary scene.
