ENGLISH - A Chance to Carry on An Old American Tradition This years English curriculum offered something differ- ent, for in all classes, students were given the oppor- tunity to choose their own classes and teachers. This new benefit led to better pupil-teacher relations, more efficient teaching and learning, and better class participation on the part of the students. The most popular courses chosen by students in the senior class was drama. Other choices were: Great Books I May Have Missed, Short Story and American Novelists. Business English was also on the list of English credits. In the past, Roncalli has manifested several important changes in the educational efficiency in the school, but the English department was by far the best ever. It offers so many advantages that its success was not unexpected. Great courses are made, not born, and Roncalli's English Program offers living proof of that theory as it offers freedom to students, unburdens the teachers, and progresses into the future. Students offered further suggestions: Buy more rocking chairs. Frank Sieh Nail the door shut. Joe Sitter An improvement in the English Department would be a comprehensive program on grammar and a film studies program.

Debaters Kathy Piatz and Laura Dickensen watch as experienced debaters Bill Bormes, Jim Crabowska, Pat Whiteside, Linda Val- entine and Mark Rice plan for a future debate tournament. Debaters are under the guidance of Sr. Pam Donelan. Roncalli's Faculty and Students have given away to strange events over the years, but none was as well known, and as often talked about as Sister Shiela Crampton's Engligh Class. For in that room, for all critical eyes to see, was a large brown, rocking chair. Sister told her students that the reason for this was that, if a student should become angry, frustrated, or depressed; the rocking chair would serve to relax them. Also, if speaking in front of the class is the cause of stage fright, sitting in the chair should bring about a relaxation and should serve to ebb the initial fear. But do students use the chair? Of course, frustration in any English class is commonplace. Some have even been known to sit in it for an entire class period. Sr. Sheila also has a large colorful tapestry and a pillow with a smiling face on it. Some students commented: I'm going to make an investment in rocking chairs. (Steve Cleberg) I haven't been to English for a month, I got kicked out. (Dennis Sanders) English this year provided an atmosphere of total disenchantment. (Kevin Maloney) English is a sluff. (Myron Hoffman) All we do in Business English is look at Mrs. Levsen. (Dan Erz) Debate? Oh, 1 did okay I guess. (Mark Rice) I think I'll Skip Religion to work on debate. (John Carlson) I gotta practice. We Got a debate on Saturday in Groton and I can't even remember my stand. (Mark Rice) 21
