Freedom Of Choice No hope for a second wind was in sight until Dr. George Gumm, the school board, and the faculty put their heads and efforts together to unveil the revolu¬ tionary English Elective Program. For years, students had been going to English classes to learn of the basics in grammar and of the mystique in literature. It used to be English year in and English year out. When we were asked if we'd like to learn about mythology, newspapers, concepts of love, western stories, or Bible literature, we didn't know what to say! No more resentful feelings about the routine English Classes?! Great! Deep concentration on his reading material causes Sam Rosenbaum to become alarmed as a camera flash disturbes him.

Our energies could be plugged into two interesting classes a year with the usual grammar and literature on the side! Offerings from the conventional term paper class to a class where we analyzed feelings totally elated us, and our in¬ terest in what we were learning impressed us. Eighth and ninth graders had the roughest time because they had the usual program. It crushed their egos to know that they weren't allowed to get in on something as beneficial as electives, but they could take heart because the future looks bright. Right; Person to person, Adrianne Cury and student teacher Mrs. Joy Parrish work on a classroom as¬ signment. Below: Poetry Workshop instructor. Pro¬ fessor Jeff Daniel Marion, collects homework poetry from Donna Emmert, Curtis Phillips, and Mary Ruth Hughes. Filmstrips aid in the regular classroom discussions of Mrs. Betty Hurley's first period conventional English class. Students who were absent for regular registration in electives were guided into second and third choices. Mrs. Lena Woolwine is the able assistant. 12 English
