English Classes 'Do Their Own Thing' .-Whig? 5x1 J Arranging theater trips for students kept Mr. Gerald Sima, department chairman, running up the walls and Mr. Alex- ander Bell running up the telephone bills. Norma Boyer, teachers' aid, was a secretary and librarian as well as a typist. I R011a1d Afgenta Richard Bo'tt Catherine Breidenbach Sharon Chapple 26 Academics It expanded my mind! Had this student been on a trip. Well, not really. Only a journey into one of Mr. Bottls rhe- toric classes were divided into two groupsg Miss Trosko's writers and Mr. Bott's pre-writers. Writers concentrated on formal styles of composi- tion while the pre-writers were to do their own thing. Other classes in the English department were equally involved in the action. Students in seminar groups participated in discussions that ranged from the worth of education to the importance of open housing.

On the student to student angle, seminars flourished, both in and out of class. Guest speakers came from as far away as Arabia and as close to home as the Board of Education. The biggest innovation of the year was a result of teacher-student cooper- ation. From such joint efforts, came the evolution of a student motivated Minority Group Relations class that was approved by the Board of Educa- tion and offered as a course during the second semester. Team-teaching and organized operation of the resource center in relationship to modular scheduling were major achievements of the teacher-teacher cooperation. The coordinated efforts of teachers and students made it a year of progress for all.
