Henry Juniors Advisor English served as foundation for Page curriculum Sophomore English seeks to introduce to the high school student a keener understanding of the English language and of world literature. Ex¬ tensive study led the sophomores into a diversified field of literature. It included poetic plays such as Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar, English novels such as Elliot ' s Silas Marner, and musical come¬ dies such as The King and I. Class time was al¬ lotted to the review and analyzation of grammar. The junior English student delved into an ex¬ tensive study of American literature. They spent much class time discovering the merits of such great classics as Moby Dick, The Scarlet Letter, and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Julia Turner dramatizes witch scene from Macbeth. Junior English students, Alice Taylor, Bill Mathews, and Allan Troxler, display their dramatic skill in a class presentation of lie, a play by Eugene O ' Neill. In the spring, students were given a chance to develop their creative talents through experience in short story writing. English literature is the basis of study in senior English. Senior English classes delved into a chronological study of the growth of English lit¬ erature. Perhaps the most memorable works studied were Chaucer ' s Canterbury Tales and Shakespeare ' s masterpieces such as Macbeth and Hamlet. Much class time was delegated to the study of advanced theme writing. Poetry reci¬ tations and dramatic scenes from Shakespearean drama added polish for the senior English student about to come in closer contact with the com¬ munity.
