Pages by Page Advisor Fall bega n with re-learning for juniors too as Mrs. Garrett, Mrs. Killian, Mr. Newton, Mrs. Sprad- ley, Miss Lupo, and Mrs. Freeman steered their inquisitive minds. Next came winter and Melville ' s Moby Dick. After poetry and es¬ says were studied, spring came along only to greet juniors with short story assignments. Seniors were greeted on their return with the assignment of autobiographies. Grammar was also stressed during the early part of the year. As winter approached so too did Chaucer ' s Canterbury Tales and Macbeth. The last ma¬ jor assignment, source themes, came during the latter part of spring — and the seniors were through with high school English. MRS.

FREEMAN B.A., W.C.U.N.C. Sophomore English is highlighted by Shakespeare As fall rolled around and all students went back to the anxieties and work of school, each English class was crowded with students wanting to learn more about their language. At first teachers were new to students and students were wondering about teachers; however, each teacher started the new semester by talking about what the class would do. Many of the teachers reviewed what the stu¬ dents were supposed to have already learned. I Along with reviewing came new vocabulary words, book reviews and memorizations. As fall changed to winter the sophomore class, under the instruction of Miss Currin, Mrs. Betts, Mrs- Spradley, Mrs. Mclver, and Mrs. Galloway, began to study Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. After exams, memorizations, punctuation, and the other necessities were over, the newest pirates celebrated the coming of spring with George Eliot ' s Silas Marner. Verna Wortham ' s dramatic recitation is the sleepwalking scene from Macbeth.
