Experienced And Devoted English Teachers To express oneself clearly, to read dis- criminately, to explore the primary philos- ophies of life-these were some of the needs of students which A.H.S.Qs English Department sought to meet. Instructors in this field believed that the mastery of English would provide tools that would not only aid students in all areas of their scholastic endeavors but would also serve to enrich their future lives, both vocationally and avocationally. Recognizing a need to avoid repetition of study, teachers planned coordination of English instruction throughout the depart- ment. The concept of team teaching was considered as a means to maintain a moti- vating course of study under the direction of new department head, Miss Winona King. Miss Winona King Miss Clyde Simmons Mr. Joseph Wingard Mr. Daniel Shehan Hi-Lite sponsor, Mr. Wingard, and Philip Wise confer over back issues of the paper.
