EXPLORES LITERARY GREATS Junior students were occupied with the study of American Literature. This year, teachers in the English depart- ment worked to coordinate each level of the study. Utilizing the school’s audio-visual aids and the active participation of the student, the English teachers brought their students closer to the subject matter. A study of English was required in each j of the five levels of our school. Through a j highly organized English Department, stu- dents gained mastery of the complex gram- I mar usage which increased the students’ ! command over his native language. [ During his five years at P.H.S. the student j traveled over a wide range of colorful and intriguing literature. Eighth Graders follow- ed the tragic journey of Longfellow’s Evange- j; line and Freshmen analyzed the plot of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Studying I Eliot’s Silas Marner and Shakespeare’s Julius J Caesar highlighted the year for Sophomores. Ij Juniors were engrossed in a study of Ameri- !, can authors, which organized the evolution II of our country’s literature.
