Facelift in English to Semester Plan After hours of planning, the English department revamped its schedule to specialized semester courses. This pro- gram, which was put in effect for 1974-75, reflects today’s trends in lan- guage education. Students may meet their needs with course offerings ranging from study habits and skills and individualized reading to poetry and the popular song and gothic literature. 1. In lieu of a Christmas party for themselves, Mrs. Joye Van Nostrand’s classes experienced the joy of sharing with others. They visited the Rolla Nursing Home bearing gifts for patients and then wrote about it in essays. Jan Heavin and Kristie Foster visited a smil- ing oldster. 2. Besides teaching sophomores the intrica- cies of English, Mr. Wayne Jackson sponsored boys' intramurals and Student Council.
