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

THE MODERN AND ANCIENT WALKS THROUGH LIFE Learning about the cultures of other countries and our own land was just one of the principles taught in the Social Studies classes. Teachers had the responsibility of instilling in each student im- portant dates and events that would stay with them for many years after high school. The Social Studies curriculum was set up so that each student obtained three units. Ninth graders were expected to take Citizenship and map skills. Tenth graders went on to take World History. Juniors were expected to earn a unit in U.S. History and Economics. For those acceler- ated juniors, American History was offered. To expand their knowledge of the world, seniors were offered European History. The Social Studies department was headed by Mr. Frank Butler. The other members of the de- partment were Mr. John Dekle, Mr. Hugh Gol- son, Mr. Joshua Harris, Mrs. Anette Mitchell, Mrs. Micki Roby, and Ms. Kathi Wood. Nancy Padgett 4 Academics 25
