The Language Arts department offers something for every student at Sprayberry. About forty hours are required for graduation in Language Arts. A freshman will usually take Grammar and Composition One. From there students have a larger variety of courses they can take ranging from Modern American Literature, English Literature, Mythology, and Rec. Litera- ture, where students are required to read a certain amount of books to pass the course. The department also offers Advanced Grammar and Composition IV for the college bound students. The Language Arts department also has several fine Drama classes, alth- ough a Speech course is required before someone may take a Drama Class. Introduction to Theatre Arts and Advanced Acting are just a few offered. The Language Arts department is a very important part of Sprayberry. English courses also help students in their other classes. Therefore, it could be said that English speaks for itself. Left: WORKING HARD! Junior Jeff Jackson tries to catch up on some badly needed sleep in Rec. Lit, class. 149
