ENGLISH DEPARTMENT An essential portion of every high school curriculum is the many- faceted subject, English. Tests covering grammar, punctuation, and correct usage are admin- istered each month. They serve to give students a comprehensive sum- marization of English. Close to the heart of many in RBC is the traditional One-Act Play contest. Semi-finals pit freshman against sophomore and senior against junior. The two winners from this contest compete in a final round. In this year’s competition the seniors, enacting a murder mystery, “The Silver-Backed Hairbrush,” scored TOO points. The freshmen gained 81 points for their mystery, “End of the Rainbow.” Future journalists and writers are given ample opportunity to express their abilities through the Catholic Daughters Poetry contest and the various essay contests sponsored by surrounding communities. In ad- dition to the regular English program, seniors have Creative Writing as an elective. This course serves to give the student facility in writing both creatively and correctly. Under the auspices of Sister Mary Anina, Department Head, and with the able assistance of Sister Mary Annunciata, Sister Mary Fides, Sister Mary Jeanne d’Arc, Sister Mary Paul, Mrs. June Plager, and Mr. Joseph Hintelmann, every student at RBC has the opportunity to deepen his appreciation of great literary accomplishments and to improve his in- tellectual background. Signpost feature writer Daniel Skelton interviews Sister Mary Anina concerning the results of the February English Department Test on punctuation. “Here he is now . . . help, help!!!,” exclaims J. Gruesome Smith (Nicholas Fugaro) as the murderer (Salvatore D’ Esposito) attacks him in a scene from the senior one-act play, The Mystery of the Silver-Backed Hair Brush.
