English Teachers Present Lectures; Gold was tne color used for English students who looked to literature and grammar for a brighter tomorrow. Classes were divided into three categories: accelerated, regular and modified. Research papers, book reports, essay contests and scrapbooks on English culture helped to enlarge the spectrum of knowledge imparted by the staff. Senior Eng- lish students lectured to underclassmen on library science. Others tried their hand at composing ballads, riddles, short stories and poems. Sam Houston’s extensively stocked library provided sufficient sources for oral and written reports, panel dis- cussions or just pleasure reading. Students gained a broader literary scope from such magazines as Literary Cavalcade, Reader’s Digest and Scope. Studies of phonetics and American dialects were added to the curriculum while teachers utilized linguistic films. Mr. Vernon Lanctot served as English coordinator, while Mrs. Lillie Nelson headed the evaluation subcommittee. Mrs. Patricia Soupiset lectures on the Scarlet Letter, a required reading for English III students. Mrs. Janet Clover took over Mrs. Soupiset’s English II and III classes at mid-term. This is the correct answer,” says Mr, Vernon Lanctot, English II and Latin teacher. He and Minda Garces go over a test on the process of writing a research paper. 26
