Instructors received help from the princi- pal-elect, dean, and the Axea II language arts coordina- tor in an attempt to give students a background of literary heritage. Departmental members tried to identify students ' weaknesses. Teachers were assigned to coordinate grade-level units of study, schedule films, organize field trips, solicit membership in professional organiza- tions, and keep in touch with research in the English field. In English I Romeo and Juliet ' was studied. Films and records helped freshmen understand poems and plays. Sophomores received new literature books with an em- phasis on dialects and phonetics. Junior English students studied American literature and learned to write themes and essays. English IV stu- dents learned to develop basic skills of reading, writing, and speaking.
