Wr-w MWM .w...-h College-level Engl The English Department offered a wide selection of required and elective courses; A total of 68 different classes were taught each semester by 15 teachers. Although only six credits were needed to meet graduation requirements in English, students were encouraged to ac- cumulate eight. As a result, 11 electives were scheduled for the second semester, the largest number in several years. Mr. Arlin McRae initiated a new class for seniors, Advanced Placement ComprLit, a two semester subject simulating college level reading and literary criticism. Students in the class could choose to take the national Advanced Placement English Test given in May. Those scoring high enough received college credit for the work. Extra-curricular activities were directed by members of the department. Mr. Faril Ward coached the speech team and worked with Thespians; Miss Lenore Cupp directed dramatic productions and sponsored Thespians; Mr. Wayne Fischer was adviser for The Prophet and The Legend.
