ENGLISH During the 1962-'63 school year, the English students at B.H.S. have had many interesting assignments. Freshmen classes were faced with the further knowledge of grammar and Mr. Schantz's class above is going over their compositions. Mr. Neill explains the day's assignment.

Every sophomore was faced with the two books, TALE OF TWO CITIES and RED BADGE OF COURAGE. As for the juniors in Mr. Woolley's English III class things were new. The year began with Literature and short story material. During the middle part of the year, each student ex- perienced speech work. For some it was frightening to think about it but as time went on everyone enjoyed it. Mrs. Queen’s class did some speech work and also worked on grammar and lit- erature. Her class had to read MY ANTONIA, and MOBY DICK. Each junior in these classes had a research paper that had to be done sometime during the year.

STUDENTS Study For the juniors, American History can be interesting. Each week they look forward to reading their Newsweek Magazines and writing reports. This year while studying the Civil War, each person had to give a speech on a famous battle. They were thankful, though, for not having to do research themes. Mrs. VanDyke lec- tures the class on crimes and juvenile delinquency. Everyone enjoys Modern Problems. Each student receives the American Observer every week, which keeps them up on daily events. Most of the year is spent in lec- tures and panel discussions on topics facing the society today. Mike! says Ed, Where did you put the answer sheet? Mrs. VanDyke, Modern Problems teacher.
