“'Time' and ‘space': two words representing the infinite world around us; from the very distant to the immediate which surrounds us. Years from now we will all be separated by distances of lime and space, but today we are here — together. So while we are here, let's reach out to all that surrounds us. Let’s take a look at the time and space that is here. For it is Pur own.” Darla Drcher. 1st semester editor

ENGLISH AND MATH In the English Language Arts classes, the semester literature courses concentrate on analysis, discussion, and developing reading skills. Students participate in class discussions and write on various related topics. The grammar composition courses deal mainly with construction, vocabulary, and spelling drills. Students write a variety of compositions such as paragraphs, expositive and argumentative papers, themes, and letters. The creative writing classes learn the basis of writing for publication. The student learns to work in all areas of the school newspaper by preparing copy, doing page lay-outs, interviewing, and reporting. Students also write a number of personal writing assignments. The English I class works on developing both grammar and writing skills. They also read and discuss literature of various types. Overall, structure and communication arc stressed since using words to express ideas, feelings, and personal emotions is basic to communication. The more practice the individual has in using communication skills, the better he or she is understood. 1. Loretta Charlton demonstrates a famous Charlton fall in acting class. 2.
