English classes view full-length movies Involving all students for three years and many seniors also, PHS English is the largest department in the school Besides the tradi- tional matters of grammar, spelling, vocabulary, literature and composition, a new and most popular feature was added to the English department in 1967. Movies as a literature form were studied this year in a depart- ment wide project. Four full length Hollywood-distributed movies were chosen at different times during the year and shown in the auditorium every period for two consecutive days. Discussion and analysis followed in the classroom. Both faculty and students felt the experiment was a real success. A pioneer in Texas high school education is the PHS English Humanities course for seniors, now in its second year of experi- mentation. Eight teachers combined efforts as students listened to music, watched new art slides, studied history and philosophy, and read stacks of books. New attempts were made to fashion truly separate courses for grouped classes and to coordinate the city-wide curriculum in the English department this year. MRS. FREDICE DENNIS English III MRS.
