DEPARTMENT JUNIOR Elmer Parent, Patricia LaPlante, Marlene Bull, Eben Crawford. There is a certain group of individuals on campus which quotes Pope, carries dictionaries, manila folders, and has an air of grammatical correctness about its utterances. These arc the English majors. These English majors study under four professors: Dr. Bagley, Dr. Stearns, Mr. White, and Mr. Sanderson. Dr. Bagley teaches a course in creative writing. In the past he has also taught other composition courses and the methods course in English. Dr. Stearns is a newcomer to the English department this year. She teaches courses in composition, reading, and methods of teaching reading and English. Mr. White handles the classes in oral English, drama, and play production. He also directs the Plymouth Players. Mr. Sanderson is the instructor of classes in written English, literature, and semantics. He also serves as advisor of The Cloc In addition to the course work from these professors, the English major has an opportunity to observe junior high school English classes, and in some cases, to teach small groups of slow-lcarncrs. These experiences prove beneficial to each student who participates; the practical knowledge gained supplements the learning of the classroom. The required and elected courses in the English program are well-balanced. For example, basic courses in writing and literature are required, but the student who wishes to broaden his scope may elect courses in such advanced subjects as World Literature and The Nature of Language. The Plymouth Players provide an opportunity for each student to acquaint himself with all aspects of play production. The four, major plays produced each year are fine examples of the best in college theatre. The Clocl{ and The Conning Tower provide an opportunity for many English majors to gain additional insights into high school and college publications, and to do additional creative writing. 23
