English . . . Vibrant . . . Writing goals and standards has kept the members of the English department on their toes. While Mr. Emil Sanzari was on sabbatical, Mrs. Adele Stern, assisted by Mrs. E. Riscoe, tended to the day-to-day details of run¬ ning the department. Strong emphasis has been placed upon composition writing. Next year, students will have the opportunity to include advanced placement English in their schedules. It will be an intensive reading course with a very close rheto¬ rical study of literature. Frequent writing assignments will be given in the course which should cover literature, lan¬ guage, and composition. With the coming of the ninth grade, a five-week reading course will be added to the English curriculum. As the high school increases in population more and more de¬ mands will be placed on the department to fulfill the needs of all students. Mrs. Wuertz, who left in December for maternity leave, was replaced by Mrs. Esteves, a graduate of Paramus High School. Mrs. Davis, who had previously been the co-advis¬ er of the Amaranth, is now in charge of the literary maga¬ zine, ably assisted by Mrs. Petersen of the Art department. With its usual offerings and its tapestries of electives, the English department continues to enrich the minds of all students.
