5. With an expression of concern Mrs. Kim Crandel wonders how she is going to get through her next class. 6. Trying to hide her smile, Mrs. Emma Conyers knows that you must take Lit- erature very serious. 6 REACH OUT AND WRITE SOMEONE With four years of required English courses, students were able to attain a basis for effective communication. In the Composition and Litera- ture classes, research papers, essays, short stories, and plays were considered basic components to a Jenkins High School education. Many students were fortunate to receive additional assistance in their remedial English classes as well. Because English is required all four years, the English department is one of the largest depart- ments in the school. Ms. Karen Stephenson was the head of the English department. Other famil- iar faces were Mrs. Emma Conyers, Mrs. Dawn Davis, Mrs. Jeanette Ready, Mrs. Catherine Rowell, and Mrs. Carolyn Siefferman. Newcom- ers to the block were Ms. Kim Crandall, Mrs. Nora Goldbaugh, and Mrs. Maria Lopez. Mrs. Beth Brown was the only AMSP English teacher. In addition to the required English courses, the department provided some high interest offerings as well. Accelerated students and those with a talent for writing took a great interest in the Jour- nalism class taught by Ms. Crandall. These stu- dents were responsible for writing and publishing the school newspaper, the Hi-Jenks. Those with a desire to improve speaking and acting skills signed up for Drama. Mrs. Beth Pafford taught Drama as she has each year that she has been at Jenkins. Another English elective was Annual Production. Under the advisement of Mrs. Nora Goldbaugh, this class was responsible for produc- ing a quality yearbook that recorded accurately the events of the school year. 4 Nancy Padgett English 23
