No doubt this English teachers' decree is resounding in the mind of Sue Thomas as she diligently works to complete her Art Humanities 3 wood block sculpture. Teach- ers wish more people would heed their words. 16 Staff and Academic Life

Operational Staff Staff works to uphold orderly school routine Comfortable? Of course you are. You've got hot lunches to make you sleepy, heated rooms to daydream in, waxed floors to slide on, and clean blackboards to doodle on. Moreover, there is a new duck pond to look at when you should be studying; benches to sit on in the fresh air while the tardy bell rings; and you don’t even have to car- ry home your report card any more because it's mailed instead. What more could you ask for? Nothing! hope the engineers, custodians, secretaries, cooks, janitresses, and matrons, for they have numerous duties to perform. The custodians, besides installing the additions to our courts, are constantly checking the build- ing to repair any malfunctions. As a matter of fact, to speed up their transportation, a bicycle is ready for use when the hall traffic is low. At the same time, the secre- taries are busy with the infamous Data Processing machine. So relax, you're in good hands. The Student Office is always busy; yet Mrs. Wanda Huska always finis time to help others. She checks an absence excuse for Dennis Lupinski while Virginia Panhert watts patiently. Staff and Academic Lif 15

English Humanities Unique class focuses on communication Students struggle to gain appreciation of art, music Focusing on class discussions of Ralph Waljlo Emerson's Compensation, Mozart's Sonata in A Minor, and Van Gogh's painting Starry Night, isn't the easiest task in the world. Ask any English Humanities 7 student, or for that matter, any stu- dent at Edsel Ford who has had to struggle with the three-pronged English, art, and music program. Remember one of those first days in the 10B semester when the English teacher announced the days that the class would have art and music. Boy! Everyone thought, Fun and games for two days each week. And weren’t class members surprised when they found that their notes were hardly com- plete enough to pass the mid-semester exam. And, how much more maddening it was to have to write that first art analysis paper, or that original musi- cal composition. When one reaches his senior year, however, he begins to realize that the art and music hardships have actually deepened his appreciation and com- munication. Still, it’s not the easiest task. With such a diversity of material to absorb, students find consultation with the teacher a necessity. Mr. John Pinter discusses elements of English composition with Linda Williams as they review a theme. StofF ond Acodemic Uf« 17
