Teachers Meet Group Needs Lfanguage arts classes attracted more students this year. Students enrolled for 1,824 hours of language arts classes compared to 1,615 student hours in the fall of 1978. With interest in language arts grow- ing and preparations being made for freshmen to enter next fall, more teach- ers were needed. Seventeen were on the department staff, including three new ones. They were Miss lan Kear- ney, U.S. literature, Composition 1 and English experiences, Mrs. Dorothy Hays, reading: and Corey Wilson, U.S. literature. The staff combined to offer 77 hours of classes each semester. Teachers created learning situations to meet individual and group needs.

Topeka West is the finest high school in Kansas . . . it does the most tor each individ- ual, Mrs. Bakalar said. - 1- is - W i R ii - - T l , , .. iz .. ,,g,:r:. e . -- . ,,-W ' 'J' MARGERY BAKALAR-AP English, Humanities, Comp l BEVERLY BERNARDI-Creative Writing, Eng Ex- periences, Comp 1 PATTY BROCKMAN-Comp 2, Mythology HORACE EUBANK-US Lit, Comp 2 WAYNE FERNKOPF-Comp l, US Lit, Discussion ADABELLE HAUGHAWOUT-Dev Reading, Acc Reading ABOVE: Using a timed reading device to im- prove her reading speed is lane Schrott, '8O.
