To enrich the English program, teachers supplement lessons with interesting tapes, films, and records which pertain to the subject matter. More valuable to the student is the opportunity offered to him for self-expression and creativity. In the sophomore English classes, for ex- ample, students not only read through Shake- speare’s Julius Caesar but many stage small scale productions of their own. The same is true in the iunior English program, in which Thornton Wilder’s popular play Our Town may be acted out with relatively few and sim- ple props. Seniors find stimulation in Shake- speare’s richly dramatic Macbeth and test their skill at projecting themselves in the heart of a character through the great playwrights lines. More extensive experience in self-expression is offered through another branch of the Eng- lish department. This includes the Journalism classes which compile and nublish a monthly school newspaper — The Bulldog. Students with special talents for writing may further develop writing skills by taking advantage of the Crea- tive Writing and Advanced Composition courses. Taught in conjunction with the literature are basic skills in grammar and sentence mechan- ics. This training proves to be invaluable in producing a polished creative piece of work. Mrs. Wilmers, chairman of the English department, enriches her lesson plan by using this replica of the Globe Theater in conjunction with the textbook. j

Assistant Principal and Dean Settle Discip Unary Ai Hsrs Mrs. Mask pauses a moment while working on attendance re- ports. To many studetits. the foreboding office on the left side of the hall, commonly known as Mr. Warren’s Office or the Dean’s office, has come to be a fatniliar abode where friend- ly but firm advice is given or ajrpropriate penalties are assigned. Behind these doors abide Mr. Percy A. Warren, well-known As- sistant Principal; and Mrs. Helen R. Mask. Dean of Students. Mr. Warren is a fatniliar personage to all here at Terry Sanford High School. Whether he is directing lunch traffic, conferring with parents or students, or organizing the daily de- tention hall, every minute of his day is filled with activities concerning the students them- selves. Although Mr. Warren handles most of the disciplinary matters, Mrs. Mask also assists in having conferences and assigning penalties. In addition, she busies herself regularly with attendance records, excusing absences, and sign- ing late passes. 30 Mr. Warren advises Steve Floyd that it ' s ‘’about that time to get another hair cut.
