Battle of Hastings Invades High School It was not an ordinary lecture on British Litera- ture. Flutes played a medieval tune while peasants, feasting on short bread and ale toasted the success of William the Conqueror. Appropriately enough, the props were short- bread cookies, ginger ale and dixie cups, and the setting was Mrs. Coppinger’s first period British Writers class. Mark Cholowski’s comic portrayal of the King added a humorous touch to student reports about England in the days of King Wil- liam. The use of the creative approach has not been limited in any way by T E even though its emphasis has been on basic skills. In this depart- ment. especially, teachers have tested a variety of ways to maintain a high level of student interest while helping students master the basics of writing and oral expression. In September, a curriculum committee began working to develop three new full-year compensa- tory courses for next year. Committee members spent many hours consulting with publishers and reviewing material in order to select suitable pro- grams of study for the new courses. Remaining basically unaffected by T E, the theatre program translates the themes in English class into voice inflection, facial expression and body movement. Theatre I, II and workshop classes have provided students, hampered by inex- perience in drama, with the confidence to perform. In the opinion of theatre instructor Charles Cunliffe, the majority of his students take Theatre mostly for enjoyment. But for the few who aspire to the professional stage, he feels the recent success of past Sayreville graduates Vince Otero and Greg Evigan. has been encouraging. It points out that the limitations of a small town need not hinder success. Mrs. Irene Todd Mrs. Georgia B. Baumann Mrs. Marie A. Carltock Mrs. Joan R. Coppinger Mr. Charles J. T.
