Communication kills Were Developed in Writing and Speaking English Classes ll, lll, IV, as in past years, continued to stress the importance of skills and techniques in read- ing, writing, speaking, and listening. The prose and poetry of American and English writers were read and discussed in our many literature courses. Speech, composition and journalism aided those stu- dents who had a bent for creative writing. Amateur actors and actresses developed their talents in drama classes. Our English program was again geared to give help to all levels. There were classes for students with reading and writing difficulties - classes for the average - and classes for the college-bound. Margaret E. Zielsdorf, Director of the English Department, with chalk in hand, is about to discuss Modern Linguistics and Struc- tural Grammar with a group of interested, advanced sophomores. 'Wh K.

Our school's teaching staff was relieved of administrative duties by specialized members. The problem of keeping attendance records in a school of our size was handled by Mr. Eugene Thomas. Along with his usual attendance du- ties, he supervised monitors and admitted tardy students. Meals were served in the school lunchroom by the cafe- teria staff, headed by Mrs. Margaret Trittin. Mrs. Retha Poppe prepared all the menus, which gave participating students a balanced, nourishing lunch at a low cost. Mrs. Marjorie Seavers, senior secretary in the office, is- sued outside passes and was the middle man for stu- dent city and rural bus applications and tickets, and Mrs. Elvera Tetzlaff handled permanent records and the W.l.A.A. insurance. ln addition, the office secretaries per- formed the miscellaneous duties of distributing mail, re- cording entries and withdrawals, running off copy on ditto and mimeo machines, permanent records, inventory, and many others too numerous to mention. Their efficiency enabled our school to run smoothly day after day. The department secretaries, while having numerous speci- fic duties, also seemed to always be able to lend a help- ing hand to teachers. They assisted by doing typing, checking in and out the tape recorders and record players and handing out supplies. The department secretaries were responsible for seeing that their department ordered and received the movies that both the dpartment heads and individual teachers thought necessary for the courses they taught. A new program was instituted at Wausau Senior High school with Mr. Elmer Cox as its head. The Neighborhood Youth Corps enabled many students to help themselves by helping others. cr.-mlm 'af cr. .Qin-...M ,1..m.- 3 Mrs. Judith Griffin, school nurse, handled wHs health facilities and administered to students who weren't feeling well.
