Humanities motivates student participation One of the changes in this year's English Humanities Department is the addition of Mr. David Balfour He teaches English and social studies and was formerly at Fairlane Junior High. Mr. Martin Holtgrieve, department chair- man, is enthusiastic, describing his department as exciting to work in, with teachers having extensive backgrounds and diversified teaching styles. One of the main departmental goals is encouraging student participation through more self-expression. The students demon- strate their creativity each semester in the art lab, and this is the first year the administration is providing funds for the projects. According to Mr. Holtgrieve, The most important objective of the English Humanities Department is the consistent and sequential division of writing skill assignments among all students from the tenth through twelth grade so that Edsel Ford graduates know how to organize and express themselves in a knowl- edegable manner.
