ENGLISH This year, the English Department, under the direction of Miss Frances Burns, again provided a wide selection of interesting and challenging courses for the students of Westwood High School. Freshman and Sophomores diligently studied grammar, composition, and litera- ture, while Juniors and Seniors were able to choose from a variety of half-year elec- tees ranging from everybody ' s favorite, Comp. and Grammar, to Mr. Earls ' Creative Writing and Mr. Sanfason ' s War Literature. Miss Dillon and Mr. Milan taught the full-year The Ascent of Man, an especially popular course among Seniors this year. The A.P. pro- gram continued to draw students who, through the two successive full-year courses, prepare for the Advanced Placement Exam. The talented Miss Shute, known by many for her di- aphragmatic breathing exercises, directed the tremendously successful Senior Class Act , as well as this year ' s smash musical, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. With the devoted guidance of Miss Dillon, the National Honor Society continued to carry on its academic and community-oriented projects. The class of ' 81 wishes to express its appreciation to the members of the En- glish Department who have touched our lives so positively.
