English classes are more than austere English seems to imply. This subject, compulsory for everyone, is sometimes enjoyable, sometimes not; sometimes difficult and at other times too simple. The dread of English might fade were it not for required reading lists, some¬ times know as corresponding litera¬ ture , such as Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, and The Scarlet Letter. Diagramming sentences, learning rules of punctuation, and perfecting one ' s knowledge of parts of speech are vital for the mastery of grammar. The English staff considers vocabu¬ lary study of prime consideration. There¬ fore, from the first word list come such lucid statements as The adamantly abstemious man of business acumen and aesthetic tastes was susceptible to abstruse aberrations in which he be¬ came acrimonious to his allies, who tried to abet him by fixing him in a re¬ viving abeyance . Yikes! I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him ' ' is a familiar line to sophomore English students.

custodians and lunchroom staff They ' d rather serve than strike Mr. John Blake Mr. Joe Banner The lunchroom staff of our high school is necessarily comprised of two competent women who serve as both dietician and cook. But these are not their greatest roles. Most important of all, they are workers who keep students first in mind. Soup on Fridays is always a favorite on the menu. Costing only thirty-five cents each, the lunches prepared by Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Setzer are suc¬ cessful due to wise budgeting. Thanks go to the lunchroom ladies because of their delicious food for thought. Ketchup is slung on the wall and paint is spilled all over the steps. Where are they? The students understand the hot days in the early fall and late spring; however, it is a controversy in the freezing weather whether the radiators are for decoration or for heat! Unfortunately, our faithful custodians, Mr. Raymond Ferguson, Mr. John Blake, and Mr. Joe Banner aren ' t magicians. They do put forth effort, though, as indicated by the in¬ creased warmth as the week progresses from Monday to Friday. Mrs. Setzer and Mrs. Anderson
