LEFT: Cheryle Helton, Sue Call, Gail Chapman, and Sherry Crusenberry present the witches ' scene from Shakespeare ' s MACBETH. From Chaucer to Steinbeck, from nouns to objective complements, from poetry to research papers, from short stories to Greek tragedies -- this was the va¬ riety of English studied this year at R. B. Worthy. English is important in every walk of life and so it is stressed continually. Senior ' s who passed the entire schedule of English found themselves prepared for greater heights because so many branches of the English courses were explored throughout their high school years. In Freshman English the founda¬ tion was laid, in Sophomore and Junior English the walls were constructed while Senior English topped it all off. Although it took five long years of hard studying, every graduating Senior felt proud to have completed this full curri¬ culum . 12
