English Department makes alterations The main objective of the Eng- lish department is to improve the student’s language skills. Although there are no new courses or teachers, Mr. Ellis is now part of the English depart- ment as well as the Math depart- ment. He is teaching a journalism class which was formerly taught by Mr. Reed. The change from the module schedule to the hourly schedule has had some effect on the depart- ment. There has been less time to meet with the students and some classes that were only forty min- utes are now fifty-five minutes long. The department has also added some new textbooks at the freshman and sophomore levels. Seated Mrs. Roberta Ingrassia, Miss Marian Wilkens, department chairman, and Mrs. Chris Pauley.

Guidance, Media, Art Departments help individuals Guidance, Media, and Art are departments that help students become individuals. The study and creation of art can help the student find a special part of him- self. Interpretations of ideas can be expressed in the art work cre- ated. The media center serves as a source for information on almost any topic. Books, magazines, and audio-visual materials such as tapes, films, and recordings all are available for the student’s use. The guidance counselors help students attain their goals whether they choose to pursue a career or go on to college. Guidance Mrs. Joyce Bredthauer, Mr. John Scott, Mr. Scott Miller, department chairman, and Mrs. Nancy Anderson. 28
