ENGLISH Students Enlarge Outlook on Literature and Language Enlarging the students' outlook on literature and increasing their vocabulary was the object of the English classes, taught by Miss Barbara Brister. Word games, drills, and quizzes were used to increase vocabulary. The origin of the English and the American languages was studied, including mythology and Afro-American literature. Poetry and short stores were written to develop creativity. To develop an understanding of people, their ideas and actions, biographies and autobiographies were read. Also the students studied mass media and American humor. These classes helped the students acquire a better understanding of the development of our language and literature. Top left: Mary Ann Rauch.
