While the sciences and the various foreign and classical languages naturally lend themselves to intellectual curiosity, there is a great danger that our native language may be come, through familiarity, a very dry language and an even drier subject. This is certainly not true, however, for the members of the Advanced Placement English course, who this year covered some of the masterful works of literature. Among the novels studied were The Bear (William Faulk ner), The Trial (Frank Kafka), The Stranger (Albert Camus), and Portrait o f an Artist as a Young Man (James Joyce). Under the guidance of Messrs. McKenna and Sheridan, the Advanced Placement Students also examined some poetry and a few plays. A group of Sophomores, under the guidance of Mr. Trabold, S.J., meet once a day to discuss and explore tra ditional as well as modern literature. These advanced stu dents work together to get deeper insights into life and human existence. The group has discussed novels by Stein beck, Hawthorne, Payton, Knowles and Hemingway, among others. The secondary goal of the group is preparation for the Advanced Placement Exam for college. By combining their reading and discussion with original writing and publication of their literary magazine, “The Sophomore Quarterly,” the group strives for their goal of realization through literature.
