New Materials Aid English Department Overhead projectors, recordings of classical poetry, complete classroom sets of dictionaries and films to sup- plement literary assignments are but a few of the new additions to the Eng- lish system at Rogers this year. Senior English includes the cover- age of world literature, featuring such selections as Hamlet, Cyrano de Ber- gerac, Oedipus, and Plato ' s Apology, with films and class discussion to aid student comprehension. Films cover- ing the Humanities, Oedipus, and Hamlet are an important part of the senior English program. Accelerated seniors are grouped in the Advanced Placement class, and after a year of intensive study, compete for college credit in the comprehensive achieve- ment test. Junior English features the study of English literature, the novel, with Dicken ' s Tale of Two Cities as a model, ' grammar, and the research paper. Films on both the novel and Shakespeare ' s Macbeth are included in the class schedule. Sophomores study American litera- ture, including such works as Haw- thorne ' s novel The House of Seven Gables, and Thornton Wilder ' s Pulit- zer Prize-winning drama Our Toivn. English 2200, a programmed grammar textbook, was introduced this year to sophomores on an experimental basis. Ropers ' Revieiv, the traditional stu- dent literary publication, was revived this year to give creative English stu- dents the opportunity to display their talents. Specialized courses such as two years of journalism and three of speech are offered to Rogers ' stu- dents. Vast research facilities are avail- able in the library, including periodi- cals, colleae bulletins and books. Mr. Meadows assists English students Caro- lyn Casey and Cliff Hess with assignment.
