reativity, comprehension, composition if ,Q 0' V Emphasizing creativity in composition, a fuller understanding of literature and better use of grammar were only a few of the objectives of the English Department, as students worked to earn the three credits needed for graduation. The use of tracking enabled students' different needs to be met. Courses from the remedial level to developmental and regular levels were offered. Enriched humanities courses enabled more ad- vanced students to cover material more rapidly and put greater emphasis on com- position. Sophomores were involved in the study of Julius Caesar and Silas Marner, as well as the study of short stories, vocabulary exercises, poetry and book reports. American literature from the Colonial Period on was studied by juniors. Senior studies accented English and world literature, including works by Shakespeare, Chaucer and Milton. A research paper was also required each semester. For the third year the Core program of- fered correlated history and literature for juniors and seniors. Communications Media, a new course which delved into the development of radio, television and the theater, was of- fered to students wishing to expand their , New S ,a j j, F. .. 2f ?i,..,.., , , , I - .

Speech and debate classes enabled students to be at ease with public speak- ing, while Speech Club activities gave them a chance for competition. Top ranking high school journalists were eligible for membership in the Dr. Tom Erhard Chapter of Quill 8. Scroll, an international honorary society. Teaching varied levels of English, Dr. Frances Kuliasha, department chairman, had the assistance of 26 teachers, seven of whom were new to the school.
