SAND Fi-xcum 'Qu- 49+ Miss Marion Haley Guidance Mr. John O. Barrows Guidance Mr. Dowd and Mr. Roman, Mr, Barrows, Miss Haley, and Mr. Nathanson, and the members of our faculty will always be remembered-beyond their official ca- pacities-as vital and sincere participants in these singularly important years of our academic and char- acter development. Each graduate leaves high school with his goals and principles well formulated-ready to apply them to life-long patterns. And each of the men and women cited above, rather than remaining within the bounds of official duty, chose to help us grow-to advise, to guide, to set a fine example. Therefore, we the members of the class of l963, wish to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to our ad- ministration and faculty at Sharon High School. Mr. Paul L. Nathanson Guidance 9

English Department To accomplish its goals for the Sharon stu- dents, the English Department uses a careful- ly developed sequential curriculum, ln terms of literary creation, emphasis is placed in the first years on the form of expression, then in the junior and senior years, on the use of this form as a vehicle for expression of idea. Weekly themes and the senior thematic read- ing units implement these objectives. ln lit- erary reception, as a basis for creation, the curriculum proceeds on four yearly units: general literature, American literature, Eng- lish literature, and a senior four part study of drama, poetry, the short story and the es- say, To develop this curriculum the English De- partment employs many distinctive methods. The Sharon Plan group lectures to Freshmen, the Professor Peterson films, the television humanities series, group attendance of local appearances of famous poets, all serve to en- rich and supplement the English program. This year has seen the first use of the over- head projector as a significant teaching de- vice, and the introduction of a different ap- proach to English grammar- transforma- tional grammar, which studies the living language scientifically on the basis of the classification of sentences according to ten fundamental types.
