Language Arts Offers Wide Variety of Courses The largest department at Tennyson, the Lan- guage Arts Area, is also the most versatile, An ef- ample of its versatility is the continued advance- ment in providing a language course to suit every student. Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior English courses, teaching a combination of grammar, composition and literature, are offered for the average student. Students who desired more specific classes were enrolled in English literature, American literature, Public Speaking and Journalism. Modified classes to suit the need of the above average or less interested students have been es- tablished. Three-year courses in Latin, German, French, and Spanish are offered. Each course is composed of an understanding of basic grammar and vocabulary dur- ing the first two years, and a study of the literature of the language in the third year.
