Creativity s ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? asks student teacher Miss Dan- iels. She was a big help in preparing students lor the M.E. tests. The English Department is composed of units of litera- ture, grammar, composition. The basic requirements of all English classes is that the pupils report on no less than six books a year. American literature is emphasised during the sophomore year. A general review of all grammar is also included in the tenth grade program. Junior grammarians are introduced into the varying phases of English literature. A study of Shakespeare ' s Macbeth and Shaw ' s Pygmaleon provide adequate con- trast of time. Step by step research paper completes a year of work at the junior level. Shakespeare ' s Hamlet and three plays by Socrates are studied in depth by seniors in the Snyder English Depart- ment. Essays and a score of contemporary literature finish a high school career in English. Pupils are allowed to test their skills on several creative writing projects. AND THEN THE ARROW FLEW CLEAR OVER THE FILLING STATION. says Mr. Reynolds as he relates one of his experiences with the famous English weapon, the crossbow. 19
