EW CGDILMIFW English Excells For years the English Depart- ment has been considered one of the many assets of the well- rounded program at Blair. This year was no exception. The interest and excitement shown by teachers was reflected in the students' essays, stories, and above all, extra curricular activities. One such activity was the Stratford- On-Avon group. This was formed by students interested in reciting the works of Shakespeare, Coler- idge, Aristophanes, just to name a few. They could usually be found atop any make-shift platform with their arms in a constant flurry. The hopes of students to be prepared for college level work motivated teachers to stress the importance of grammar and essay writing.

But they weren't always working on exer- cises. Their work load was eased by movies, tapes, and film strips. Although the students didn't generally appreciate all the effort that their foreign language classes required of them throughout the year, they enjoyed their new skills once the work was finished. BELOW: isolating herself from the rest of the class, Lori Gelalich quickly studies materials for an upcoming test. LOWER RlGHT: Confronted by everpresent exercises for her foreign language class, Brenda Goodwin works toward completion. UPPER RIGHT: Displaying his usual willingness to help students who don't un- derstand parts of their lessons, Dr. Battaglia explains a new verb conjugation. I 5 a
