E. E. Bruegel, principal, coordinates the high school's many activities, seeing to it that they run as smoothly as possible. When a student starts home with a load of books, he either has home work or is trying to impress the faculty; when a student walks down the corridors wearing a tragic expression, he’s either just had a pop quiz or his best girl gave him the gate; when a student burns the midnight oil over a stack of books, he either has a nine weeks test or a term report due the next day. All students share the above experi- ences. When you move into the new LAI IS, the building will be different, but you will experience happiness and disappointment as you did in the older school. Although we will be proud to move into a new build- ing we will always cherish memories of the old school. A D MINIS TRA TORS COORDINATE administrative assistant and director of Audio Visual Aids.

Mrs. Sallie J. Bryning, chairman of the De- partment of English, besides journalism, teaches creative writing and literature. Mrs. Louise Hansen taught English before becoming the reading instructor for Las Ani- mas High School. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT WITH NEW Miss Jan Perry, a graduate of Colorado Col- lege, interested her students in Hawaiian folklore. A former resident of Hawaii, Miss Perry enjoys living in Colorado. This year the English department has made a big changeover. Instead of the usual four English classes there are now seventeen classes, covering all fields of English. There are 39 sections, making it possible for students to take the classes they are most interested in, or need to take. All of the classes, except Composition II and Advanced Speech, are set up on a semester basis with a half credit given each semester. Also, since students may choose which courses they want to take, most of the classes are not graded according to class in high school.
