Suddenly There ls a Feeling of Frustration I TOP: Students at Park have a common bond- feelings of apprehension and anxietv from the moment they encounter a test until the paper is once again in the hands of the teacher. RIGHT: The full benefit derived from writing a theme is achieved only when student and teacher dis- cuss their ideas and opinions. New curricula and teaching aids granted students a varied three-year course. Col- lege texts afforded enriched tenth graders structural linguistics and the language com- munication theory. All sophomores studied various works of recent literature found in the popular pocketbooks. After emerging from tenth grade, the elev- enth graders discovered that English Xl im- parted the concept of American cultural values and traditions through literature. Faulkner's The Bear and lVlelville's Billy Budd were an experimental addition to ele- venth-grade reading curricula. After surviving the eleventh grade research paper, twelfth graders found themselves in a new country-England. Senior English attempted to instill an understanding of the English culture. Seeing The Importance of Being Earnest and listening to their classmates singing medieval ballads off key brought a novel spark to English XII.
