Two new teachers joined the English department this year: Mrs. Short and Mrs. Schnitkey. Mrs. Short taught College English XI, General English XI, and English journalism. Mrs. Schnitkey taught seventh and eighth grade English. Other members of the department included Mr. Murbach who taught College English XII, General English XII, and English X; and Mr. Rex who taught English IX and X. English is a very controversial subject, and there are prob- ably as many ideas on how to teach it as there are English teachers. Mr. Murbach believes English is a subject to be enjoyed. Whether it was through discussing poetry or writing an impromptu, the students discovered a new level of English. Mr. Rex emphasized grammar and literature in his fresh- men English classes. He required one book report from each student every six weeks period. The students spent a large part of the year writing compositions. His sophomore general English class spent most of the year learning certain reading skills and comprehension. Much of the students' grammar study was from the 'Practical English' magazine. Mrs. Short has an unusual philosophy of teaching and learning. Her junior English students soon realized what was expected of them in her class. The students spent a large part of their time writing compositions and participating in class discussions. Mrs. Short placed strong emphasis on the development of the student’s imagination. The journalism class effectively illustrated their imaginative technique through the school newspaper the Blue 'N Gold. Seventh and eighth grade English was not all nouns, verbs, pronouns, and dangling participles. Mrs. Schnitkey included a variety of activities to make English more meaningful. There were spelling contests within each grade with such teams as Rat Patrol, Duds, Bluestreaks, Toronados, Jets, and Surfers. Mrs. Schnitkey also gave the students poetry pro- jects in which the students could let their imagination have free rein in illustrating the idea of a poem. DAVE REX; B.A. Adrian College, M.S.
