Students Improve Communication Skills Miss Carolyn Stevens English Journalism Mrs. Marie Lowe English Math Mrs. Faye Sloop Developmental Reading Learning how to communicate with others is a very essential and sometimes difficult task. It is more than knowing how to use proper English in every day writing and conversation. It is knowing how to paint vivid word pictures. The many English teachers have done much to improve the understanding and knowledge of the English language on our campus. Miss Carolyn Stevens and Sheryl Blankenship plan another “Happiness is teaching English.” humorous account for the RAINIER ECHOES. 26 mm m m m

s Spiritual Revival in 1 970 The Bible department, under the leadership of the Academy pastor, Elder Joe Engelkemier, endeavored to bring a greater spiritual awareness to the students and faculty of Auburn Academy. Those in charge tried to motivate one and all to “Prepare the Way,” as the theme of Auburn Academy could well be termed. Bible classes had the highest enrollment of any other type of class, for each Auburnite took a class covering some phase of Christianity, such as Old and New Testament History, Bible Doctrines, Youth Guidance, and Prophetic Guidance. Several Bible classes were held in the chapel to accomodate the overflow of students this past year. In the Bible Doctrines classes, students gave ea ch other Bible studies, and were encouraged to give Bible studies in the community as well. In various other Bible classes, discussion groups were held that allowed for students to express and release pent-up questions and ideas. Bible classes sometimes included singing and prayer bands. Yes, to the students of Auburn Academy, religion really came alive this past year, for Bible was more than just memorizing texts and rereading Bible stories. It was getting a new look at the character and personality of the Man Jesus Christ. It was learning how to be happy and get the most out of this life and how to prepare for the next. It was getting to know yourself and find the true purpose of life. These men, our Bible teachers, have helped us find these guidelines to a richer and fuller Christian experience. Mr. Forris Chaney Bible Guidance Director Mr. William Lowe Bible Biology English sses future careers with his Youth Guidance class. Mr. William Lowe explains a student’s question carefully. 25

Through the combining of the library and the multi-purpose area under the direction of Mrs. Laurinda Crays and Mrs. Ruby Schmidt, another dream at Auburn Academy has become a reality. Our new Learning Resources Center is greatly expanded. Now it is more than just rows and rows of books. It includes audio-visual equipment with filmstrip guides, foreign language tapes, and information concerning colleges and careers. With the increasing demands for a higher level of education comes the demand for more resources. Through much hard work this goal is being attained at Auburn Academy.
