Caught in a typical pose, Miss Raborn teaches importance of sentence unity. English Curriculum... Because a complete knowledge of all phases of English is vitally important in any field or profession and because great stress is laid upon the importance of a good foundation in the study of English by most colleges and univer- sities, the English Department at Pensacola High School is very extensive, and the import- ance of its courses is emphasized to each stu- dent. A student who takes advantage of the many fields of English study open to him in high school acquires abilities that will prove invaluable in college work. Of all departments the English Department may be considered most valuable as college preparatory. Every possible type of high school English curriculum From left to right, top to bottom: Millicent E.

As a student ad- vances from his sophomore to his senior year, he encounters progressively more difficult English courses. Sophomore English consists of a review of grammar. As a junior the student is afforded a certain amount of choice as to his English studies. With reference to his abilities he may continue a study of grammar in English lll-B, or he may choose to study the works of the great American writers in English lll-L. For the senior a variety of choices to suit every interest is offered. The fun- damentals of grammar are further explored in English IV-B. The literature and life of England are taken in English IV-L. An outstanding college preparatory course is English IV-C, or composition. Speech classes present a colorful facet of study and complete our very extensive English Depart- ment. Like all of our English teachers, Miss Schimme! is always ready to help students like Dottie Culver when they have problems. [ 21 ]
