SETTING This year even the administration seemed to feel the increase in pace and secured an additional vice prin- cipal. This brought the total to three. Mr. Conlon and Mr. Zimmerman arc in charge of administration. Miss Young, in charge of guidance, with the aid of a guid- ance counselor for every grade, offers us more about colleges, more about work after high school, and more about analyzing ourselves. ... Go to Mr. Conlon if you are late to class ... See Mr. Z. if you want an emergency announcement read over the P. A. System . . . Sec a counselor if you want your schedule changed so that you won’t have Biolog)’ before lunch . . . Make an appointment with Mr. Pyles about anything else that confronts you. For us the problems seemed ever so difficult until we placed them in the hands of the administration. For them the problems seemed never ending. The Battle of the Heat waged all winter long. One building was too hot; another building, too cold. And the Battle of Seats in Assembly spilled into two fields of activity. There were so many battles that we were reduced to writing notes, for it was the only method of communi- cation from the past to the present—for the future. It was a busy year; it was 1955. William C. Pyles B. A.. M. Ed. 12

English assignments require research in the library. The one course that we meet in every walk of life, as well as every year of school, is English. The days arc livened by discussions, panels, dramatizations, and read- ings. Poetry, novels, and short stories by outstanding English and American authors stimulate us. Spelling and fundamentals of grammar develop into essays, char- acter sketches, and term papers. We have the oppor- tunity of talking before a group in public speaking, of developing our acting in dramatics, and of improving our writing in journalism. Our top scribblers spend long hours working in the Tattler office, on the Pine Tree, or on Chips. IN ENGLISH Mary Strunk selects a copy of Teen-Age Tates for some enjoyable reading in English class. 14
