Va. U., U. of Fla., Marshall U., S. Methodist U. MISS BARBARA REEVES Harrisonburg, Va. Madison College English III The English Department, offering courses in advanced composition, drama, public speaking, world literature, and English, is perhaps one of the most important in the school. The teaching of any aspect of English is vital to the student in that the correct use of the language is of value throughout life. Due to this, four years of English are required. Freshman English is basically grammar. Sopho¬ more English is similar to Freshman English, but is more intensive. In the Junior and Senior Classes, students explore in depth, writings including analyzation of novels, in American and British literature. Students may take elective English classes as college preparatory courses. These courses allow the student to learn to express himself and to gain an understanding of the humanities.
