HOPPE English and Oral Expression Twenty-five courses in composition, short story novel, poetry, drama, and essay, including literature both American and English, are offered in various quar- ters of the school year. Composition and Methods are required, but hundreds of students each quarter elect other courses in the department. Many teachers, feeling the need of a cultural background and breadth of vision, specialize in English work. The Expression department included in the English work offers twelve courses in vocal training and dramatic interpretations. People especially interested in dramatics or debate find this department very helpful and interesting. The in- structors in both dramatics and debate are admirably fitted for their work and are a source of inspiration to their students. Fourteen
