English Department Experiments With Flexible Program The English Department is kept busier than ever this year. Each teacher is exposed to countless meetings de¬ signed to suggest new direction and a changing curricu¬ lum. Many more hours will be devoted to rewriting the existing course of study and reviewing possible additions to an elective program for the 1972-1973 school year. One goal of this effort is a more flexible schedule for both students and teachers. Although the future is being considered, the present syllabus must be met. And the teachers of Freshman English do an outstanding job: they not only teach the required material, but also introduce the student to study habits necessary for high school work. The Tenth grade curriculum places emphasis on vocab¬ ulary study, grammar, and World Literature. The sopho¬ more is initiated into the world of short stories and poetry, while the Juniors prepare research papers and study American Literature. Seniors are asked to display many latent talents; some they never dreamed they possessed. Writing poetry, a task which at first seems impossible, is made easier after a study of poetic devices: rhyme, rhythm, and re-write. Also, methods for writing term papers and compositions are polished. One goal of Senior E nglish is to perfect the skills that students have accumulated over the years.

Special Education Department Takes New Name And Duties One of the least heard about departments at Lebanon High is Occupational Education. This year the Depart¬ ment has expanded and taken on a third member. In addition to Mr. Delegram and Mr. Heisey, Mr. Jagnow is now a member of our faculty. Mr. Delegram teaches English; Mr. Heisey teaches Social Studies and Science; and Mr. Jagnow teaches Mathematics. Occupational Education, formerly called Special Edu¬ cation, is a course designed to teach special or excep¬ tional students. It also prepares those students who plan to make their adjustment in the occupational and voca¬ tional fields. The main objectives of the course are job training and experiences. Numerous areas of technical skills, as well as the workshop curriculum, are also offered. Another new program has begun this year in this de¬ partment. Interested girls from the F.T.A. are assisting Mr. Jagnow with his math classes. With the help of these girls, the students will be able to have the individual at¬ tention that they need.
