CHERIE SHORT; Michigan Stale University. B.A. Defiance College, M.Ed. University of Toledo English We employ acceptable English grammar and punctuation. We know the difference between did and done, and then advance to learn the difference between prose and poetry. We seek opinions and learn to respond through verbal and oral expression. JOY LINK: B.S. Defiance College, Huntington College We compare and contrast literary periods of time ... Renaissance, Enlightenment, Victorian. We apply 14th century authors to 20th century authors and their works to our generation. We read Dickens and gain sentiments. We become aware of universal thoughts and human nature while philosophizing with Emerson. We stimulate our imaginations through Poe. We reminisce with Chaucer and Shakespeare. We recite Frost and Sandburg, thus learn of simplicity, We begin to see the continuity of an English curriculum.

The Senior year . . . something to anticipate, something to experience, and alas, something to reminisce. In speculation, underclassmen glare with envy at the sight of a Senior roaming the halls, laughing with a teacher, being awarded an early summer vacation, or carrying a diploma. “Will I ever advance to twelfth grade?” With highly-held heads. Juniors finally become the pace-setters for the rest of the school. The year has much to offer them .. . distinction, bore- dom, opportunities, criticism ... a chance to better themselves academical- ly and socially, a banquet in which to delight, and a trip to New York and Washington. It is a challenging year in which to live. It is a growth, a maturation, an end and a beginning. It is to be talked about, coped with, laughed at, and read about. In retrospect, graduates look at their high school finale, and it brings delight, cheers, heartaches, headaches, and tears. It has been a great time, a fine time, a ’69 time.
