English Forms Basic Part of WHS Curriculum Chuck Zondor ponders the question Whet did he do? as he studies diligently for his daily classes. Oh, don ' t hurt him! exclaim Virginia Ruman and Barbara Ziara as George Toth and Ken Zubeck display acting talents in speech class. The basic subject in the WHS curriculum is English. It is the only course that students are required to have as a major. Every student from his freshman year on has a semester of English Grammar. Freshmen, juniors and seniors alternate grammar with literature, play reading, or journal- ism, and sophomores have a semester of speech. In this way students explore every phase of English — speaking, writing, reading, and basic mechanics. The English Department hopes that offering a variety of English courses will help students in their other subjects. Mr. James Ulrich ' s senior grammar class is soothed by classical music while they try to pass another difficult test. 29
