Each year the Foreign Language department sponsors a Foreign Language weelc, with activities consisting of a foreign food sale, foreign customs and the popular escargot race. 2. As language arts teacher Michael Corrado calls senior Christy Reese a featherbrain, he also attempts to teach her a lesson for having the gall to forget her homework. The title of featherbrain is awarded to any student with the audacity to be unprepared or incorrect in Corrado's class.

- w s.. ,-..1. . l 2 Tinker to Evers to Chancei' Due to a reassignment of Language Arts teacher Cista Leon- ard, nearly loo sophomores, juniors, and seniors had schedule changes. Leonard was reassigned to Kraemer Ir. High School, after the pre-planned enrollment figure was not met. The school could not afford to pay an extra teacher if it was not necessary, therefore' Leonard was reassigned. It was like the old Dodgers double play of Tinkers to Evers to Chance. Teachers who were affected by this drastic change were june Overton, Dennis Steinwand, Kathy Heath, Michael Corrado, and Mary Ellen Cummings. These teachers received more students in their classes. When Corrado took over Leonard's British Literature class, Steinwand was given Corrado's Lan- guage Arts III class. Cummings was given one of Heath's sophomore English classes and Heath was assigned Leonard's composition class. One of the most radical changes occurred to the schedule of Publications Adviser, Mary Ellen Cummings. Cummings was given a Language Arts class the same period that she met with her newspaper staff. She decided to put her aztlan staff on a contract type basis, rather than disband the class or combine it with her beginning journalism class. While this schedule was harder for me to deal with than other alternatives, this choice seemed to affect the least number of students. Although, it was close to impossible to teach a sophomore basic English class produce a paper in the same class period in the same place. It was sort of like teaching French III and woodshop at the same time, explained Cummings. i. Spanish teacher Lucy Kucera approves of a student's answer to an oral quiz question. Spanish and French are the only two foreign languages offered in the curriculum. 1. Language Arts Department Co-Chairman Kathy Conrad enjoys a joke with her Language Arts Basic class. She and Sue White divided the job of chairing the largest department. faculty - 23 l 1 1
