Modern Techniques Stimulate Creativity A continual source of enrichment for Arrow students is provided through their contemporary English courses. The energetic English depart- ment devotes much of its time to making the classes up to date and interesting to the stu- dents. Modern techniques make English at St. Alphonsus really a part of 1972. Freshmen and Sophomores get the basic back- ground in English necessary for future courses. Their anthology includes sections on poetry, Greek Mythology, short stories and English usage. On the other hand. Juniors and Seniors have their choice of exploring topics from Film- making and Dramatic Arts to Creative Writing and Research Paper. Also a number of novel courses help students understand modern writers of to'day. There are a wide variety of subjects offered that suit almost everyone's interests. English is vibrant and very much alive at St. Al's. A new twist to some basic topics makes English appealing to the student. 18
