Page 19 Academics This year, Berkley High is larger than ever, with over i700 students. Since each has an in- dividual program and individual problems, scheduling became an almost impossible iob. Five counselors had to set up the cor- rect number ot classes, and at the right time, so as to accom- modate all with a minimum of confusion. The counselors have been relieved ot a major part ot this iob by a newly installed Rem- ington computer. lt not only handles scheduling, but also prints absence lists and report cards, relieving both the front office and the teachers of tedious jobs. And, perhaps most im or- tant, it allows the counseliors additional time tor personal attention to students and their problems.

Page Zl literature English begins with the study of grammar. Since our earliest days we have coniugated verbs and learned about nouns and modifiers. progressing through elementary and junior high schools, we tackled difficult gram- matical constructions and began to apply our knowledge to writing. By the time we reached high school, our back- ground had broadened enough so that we could appreciate and understand great literature. Our English department offers the student not only basic skills in grammar but also the knowledge to write and understand great writing. The over-all English program emphasizes literature and writing for graduates who plan to attend college. A creative writing course is offered for students inter- ested inthe productive aspect of English. i
