The English Program Offers Enrichment Assignments in Spingarn's English classes may range from discussing Vergil's philosophy as expressed in the Aenezkf to finding the integral part of a well-constructed sentence. English is certainly one of Spingarn's busiest departments. Mrs. Myra A. Williams attributes the department's popularity to the graduation requirements in English and the importance of being able to communicate effectively. The general sophomore, junior and senior English courses make a study of American and English literature. In the enriched programs for accelerated seniors, Great Books, the Novel, World Liter- ature, the philosophies of great writers are analyzed and interpreted for our modern times. Because of the importance of the study of English, whether a student is college bound or plans to work after high school, Spingarn'S department attempts to establish an understand- ing of basic skill.
