Do you believe that writing essays is necessary and a better way of learning materials? Why? When one writes essays, one learns by doing, that is, the individual wrestles around with basic data, generalizations, concepts, and the mechanics of structure and organization. By doing so, one must understand the subiect matter and therefore, learns how to express one's knowledge through writing so someone else can also understand that subiect matter. By learning how ta write accurately one learns how to think and speak accurately. Mr. Lewin In a way, no, but in a way, yes. The reason is because when l write an essay, the information is given to me by my teacher and all I do is organize it. But then it will help me in college and the future for my overall writing knowledge. Chris Middleton I - 1 r f' ,'!?f'1y gs fN1..1lw1rff.1v Vg' Jr ' ' lffvffvit Inav f 1:9 Aww 9. 1 ftfrnrr P Q ' WDM.

Do you think the school runs efficiently? Why? I felt for the most part it was, but there is always more room for improvement. There would have had to have been more administrative meetings to run the school more efficiently. There weren't more administrative meetings because then we would be too busy to communicate with the students. I feel fortunate to have a fine administration faculty and secretarial staff. Mr. Berger Yes I feel there is a positive spirit among the staff, Besides teaching they all helped in the extra activities. Mr. Johnson I think the administration is doing the best iob possible to improve the school, but as far as classes go, l'd like to see a wider variety. Cretia Misquez I guess so can't think of anything that is wrong. Tim O'Rourke Yes because the administration has finally settled down A accordance with the districts strict policies.

K Y . ....,,,,hM m 5. Q 4 I I is f .13 9 L Q u R 3 E I Teaching students to become cssclyisits was one ofthe major goals ofthe English and Social Science Departments this year. Seen in most of the Social Science classrooms was a poster stating Essay Writing. This was an outline on how essays were formed. Students soon realized that the teachers were preparing them for college. With the addition of electives, students became more culturally and politically aware. To become more politically aware, World History and Sociology classes went on the yearly trip to Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. Expenses for the transportation and bus driver were paid by the students. Added support from the administration and school board led the English Department to function systematically. With enough money, the English Department took students to the Bay Area for cultural enrichment. ln the fall, mentally gifted students snatched up the chance of seeing the play MAN AND SUPERMAN in San Francisco. The De Young Museum and San Francisco Symphony were the field trips for the spring. Supervising the debate and speech programs was Ms. Marlene Barber who transferred from McKenney Intermediate School to replace retiree Ms. Claire Ramey. Because of an increased student load in the English Department, Ms. Diana Cameron was also added. In the Social Science Department, Mr. Ron Locher, who transferred from McKenney Intermediate School, replaced Mr. Kirk Smith.
