 f t English was at it again. Mrs. Cathy Flood and Miss Donna Sharp have been together in the English Department for nineteen years. The English department includes the classes: Survey of Literature, American Literature, Novels, Oral and Written Communications, Journalism Photo-journalism, English Usage, Dramatic Literature, Advance Composition, Poetry, Drama, and Short Stories. A new addition was Journalism Photojournalism. Students who were enrolled in the class wrote for the Bark and worked on the yearbook. In Photojournalism the students learned how to take pictures, make layouts for the yearbook, developed film, and print pictures. They enjoyed the use of the darkroom that their teacher Merle Taylor set up. Junior Steve Porter stated “Photojournalism gives me a chance to use the camera and develop pictures which I didn’t know how to do before.” Another important class for college bound students was Advance Composition. Advance Composition was only offered for the Sen- cmcC iors. One very important assignment that was also very time consuming was the term paper Donna Sharp assigned. For this the students had to have ten to fifteen sources on their subject, thirty notecards, an outline, and the final draft which had to be ten typed pages. Senior Shannon Hayes said “the research that you do takes up most of your time, so get started on it as soon as she gives it.” Top: Todd Thomas is goofing off, as usual, while Tim Walsh tries to figure out what is going on.
