Vikings in English III try to recall whether it was Macbeth or the gentle Lady Mac- beth who stabbed the king. Prose, And Shakespeare A semester's study of grammar, including sentence construction, word usage, and punctuation, succeeded by a stimulating study of American literature, constitut- ed the 1965-66 sophomore English course. An innova- tion in the enriched program was the addition ofa complete American literature textbook, entitled The United State: in Literature , which supplemented the regular books. Initiating the literature course, students traced thedevelopment of the short story, but soon proceeded to more lengthy works. They read and dis- cussed two novels. The Scarlet Letter and The Red Badge of Courage, gaining greater insights into life. Writing themes, essays, and various creative pieces pro- vided the last requirement for a complete course. The English III course consisted of an extensive study of English literature, complemented by the stu- dy of grammar and a weekly emphasis of vocabulary words. Juniors became lastingly acquainted with such immortal authors as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Tenny- son, thus familiarizing themselves also with essential facts concerning distinct eras in British history. Miss Mauldin, student teacher from K.U., hands out vocabu- lary tests to waiting students in her last hour class.
