Students Develop Life Time English Skills The English we learn now will be applied to everything we attempt after high school which makes English class mandatory for all students at Roncalli. Freshmen English is taught by Miss Tschakert and Miss Wheel- er. The class is a formal study of language, grammar, and litera- ture. During each section of literature various projects were completed by the students. A unit on poetry was also included, which consisted of a special project which let the students use their creative abilities. English II is a combination of speech and grammar. One semes- ter is a basic introduction to speech and the other semester is devoted to continued grammar and composition, with some literature. The sophomores also do research papers as class work. As part of the literature unit of Shakespeare the freshmen and sophomores combined to have a Shakespeare Day. 1. Critiquing the student's speeches is part of Mrs. Sorenson's speech class. 2. Freshmen Tom Heintzman explains his diagrams to the rest of the class. 3. Joe Mattern takes a break from his studies to eye a friend. 4. Freshmen and Sophomore English classes combined to listen to poet William Kloefhom. 5. Allen Gates diligently works to complete an assignment on Julius Caesar. 24
