English Department The number and variety of English courses at Rhodes High makes this department the largest one in the school. At least ninety per cent of twelfth grade pupils elect one or two semesters of English after they have completed either 60 or 70 points in required English. This plan of free elections permits specialization in such types of literature as the short story, the American novel, Shakespeare, and modern drama. Courses preparatory to college or job are pre-college English and business English. Various abilities in communication arc tested periodically: vocabulary, spelling, mechanics of correctness, reading level, and grammar. A standard for graduation is a rating of at least 11A on the grammar test. ✓ Diana Nupp Norma Staley John Corrigan I, Joseph Stevens Lorraine Stilin Robert Hon Bernice Ord Virginia Sancetta Dramatics Department Constance Burton Dramatics, one of the smaller departments at Rhodes, provides the student body with both entertainment and valuable instruction.

Math Department Carlton Hicks During our four years at Rhodes, the math department has taught us algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Even more important, the instructors have given us the benefit of their background and experience with many ideas and questions aside from those in the text books. They have helped to mold and shape our own basic philosophy. Carl Ferguson Department Head John Bonza Edmund Everett Alma Beard Robert Morris Doris Kamatz
